...but I'm not going to because that would be silly. Although today is my actual birthday, we've been celebrating for the past couple of days, because when it's all about ME, I like to drag it on as long as possible. Here are some shots of what's been happening thus far.
Every birthday requires flowers. Period.
Balloons are another requirement, even if they are made for 1 year old princesses.
What's a celebration without cake? This is my favorite strawberry cake made by B's wonderful mom. Don't even try counting the candles.
Presents are nice too but certainly not mandatory. I have no problem admitting that B and his family spoil me rotten. This is a beautiful moonstone ring B gifted me with this morning. It's sitting atop an amazing lightweight scarf from B's parents.
Remember that ridiculous family portrait B drew a while back? He got them printed on T-shirts (this may or may not be worn in public). The dogs will get their own shirts too, eventually. Ha! *I am aware that this is a terrible shot of us but it's kind of fitting for those shirts.
These new flats from B's mom might quite possibly be the most comfortable flats EVER.
Ok, I'm off to enjoy being spoiled for the rest of the day (my lunch had caviar in it, CAVIAR! It was divine). I'm having dinner and drinks with friends later where I will pass on the birthday torch to one of my best friends. It's been lovely and now it's kind of like you were there too! I'll be back tomorrow with regular posting.
