Helping Mommy blow out candles :) |
33. That's 2 years away from 35 and 7 years away from 40. I loved turning 30, but the closer I get to 40 I'm kind of freaked out--not gonna lie. I proclaimed that I "wasn't a spring chicken anymore" to my husband who happens to be 12 years older than me. He politely rolled his eyes and told me to shut the hell up. ;) I may have celebrated my birthday for 3 days in a row this year. I don't know about you but I like to milk my birthday for as long as I can..especially if a weekend is close to the day.
Screw the inch, I'm takin' the mile!

My birthday was last Thursday. My actual birthday was pretty low-key. I bought myself some birthday loot, ate dinner at Chili's {had to go the family friendly route since the boys were coming with}, and then my baby sis came over with the most amazing Heath Bar cake for me. :)
New tennis shoes, Fall faves from Bath & Body, and Starbucks! |
Dinner at Chili's--which I obviously picked because Daws stays quiet the longest here. Thank you chips, salsa, and ranch for the win! |
Worth EVERY calorie. Friday I continued the birthday festivities with dinner at Houlihan's with my middle sis. This was my first time eating here and the food was delicious! I'm such a weenie when it comes to trying a new restaurant. I'm sure it's just my neurotic type A personaity, but I always get nervous when trying somewhere new. I just don't want to have a bad experience when I'm A. super hungry or B. celebrating something. Hence why I go with the known vs. the unknown. Okay, enough about my craziness. ;) We had a wonderful time and I am so thankful I am blessed with 2 amazing sisters!! |
Mini Martini's...yes, please! |
Saturday we met my Dad half-way so he and my Mom could take the boys for the day/night so we could...wait for it...celebrate my birthday. Yes, that makes day #3 of celebrating. ;) We had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, then did a little wine-tasting at Buck Creek Winery. The winery is super close to our house and every time we pass it we always want to stop, so we finally did. :) Not my favorite wine, but it wasn't bad.
My fave appetizers at Cheesecake Factory. |
I think I need that cute wine tree in my back yard. ;) |
We had dinner plans at a winery/restaurant but decided last minute to just cancel them and go to Target get a bunch of snacks, adult beverages, and watch a movie. Homebody party of 2 right there! Sometimes you just need a relaxing night {without the kiddos} at home!
So see, not so high maintenance even with a 3 day celebration. ;)
Because sometimes you just want to cancel dinner plans and eat snacks like a pig...in bed...with no pants on. ;) Happy Monday!! XO |
Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDelete1. Chilis salsa and ranch is amazing!
2. A night at home sans kids sounds like a perfect celebration too!
Thanks, Emily!! I agree--Their salsa, ranch, and chip combo is my absolute fave! It was definitely nice to stay home and have a night in :)
DeleteYou celebrate the way I do! I milk it for as long as I can too!
