Birthday Weekend in Photos

 

 

My family made my birthday special this weekend - low key and relaxing, just like I like it. My husband walked in the door on Saturday with beautiful, bright pink flowers and when I opened my gift from him and my daughters, it was a new and improved Keurig. We had the original, smaller size, but am looking forward to one that will fit my bigger mugs. They know how much I love my coffee and tea :-)

Sunday morning, we went to breakfast at my favorite breakfast place.

Just look at these yummy blueberry pancakes I ordered. Usually my order is one of their whole wheat options, but since it was my birthday, I splurged a little.

Later that night, I enjoyed a birthday cocktail - a Lemon Cosmo. It was a mixture of tart and sweet and so delicious. Here is the recipe { 2 ounces lemon vodka, 1 ounce Cointreau, juice of 1/2 lemon, 11/2 ounces cranberry juice. Shake in a martini shaker filled with ice and enjoy. }

 

Megan and Melissa made us dinner and it was healthy and light and perfect. They made two of my favorites - taco salad served in tortilla bowls and strawberry and raspberry shortcake.

I am so thankful for a thoughtful family, who made my birthday fun and relaxing.

Happy Monday!

  13. Happy Birthday! Those flowers are gorgeous! As for the Keurig, I now don't know what I'd do without it. My kids are really into using it for iced coffee and tea now. There is no need to stop at the expensive coffee shops any more with the Keurig.
