Mom's Bday

My Birthday Cake!
(notice decorated napkins in background)

Celebrations began on Sunday of course!
I received a "Box of Love" from my family.
The Box of Love included a magazine, wine in a cool bottle, crayons, black winter vest... and the container which will help contain some of the holiday decorations that are expanding out of current boxes.

The husband who made the birthday cake!

Half of the family blowing out the candle!
(What age is it that people officially stop putting candles on a cake?)

My 36th Birthday - actual!

Fabulous Fondue with Family and Friends!

Ready to get cooking!

We forgot to take a photo when all the food came out... here is the half way+ result!

Oops! That one didn't quite work!

Look at how nice my kids look! (and no prompting from me!)
I can't say that having a tie on for Fondue worked out real well...

Having fun with Fondue!

My teeny cheesecake - on the house!
Notice the necklace I have on... my family made that for me for Valentine's Day and it is a locket that has the kids' photos in it!

Studying the dessert chocolates... which one? which one?

We did order Turtle (our friends had had before) and Creme Brulee (at Fil's insistence and it turned out to be spectacular!)

That's it, folks!

Another year older... another year bolder?!

Today is Luke's End of Season Basketball Tournament and Emma has a playdate!

Have a great weekend!
