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!
