Birthday

A couple weeks ago friends of ours went out to breakfast at one of my favorite spots in downtown Tacoma, then we headed up to Bellevue to wander the mall and bowl at Lucky Strike. The night before it snowed several inches, it was so beautiful and was our first real snowfall of the winter. The night finished off with a delicious dinner made by my husband and a yummy and adorable cake he made as well!!

Riley's 5th Birthday in SLO

Where has the time gone??? I feel like we've been celebrating this birthday all month long...first with cupcakes at school, her party at Chuck E Cheese, and now her Tinkerbell and Pirate party at the park by my parents house. It was a gorgeous day out - lots of friends and family showed up so it was a great turnout! It was so nice to see all my friends and Riley's friends too.

That night we had dinner at the Madonna Inn, and got large slices of pink champagne cake. It was so good!

I think I speak easily for Riley that this was her favorite month ever!

Chuck-E-Cheese

This weekend we had Riley's birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. I haven't been to one of those since I was a kid, and from what I can remember - its changed a lot. And gives you a headache fairly quickly. Thankfully I was surrounded by good friends and Riley had so much fun!

FIVE

Yesterday, my baby girl turned five. I honestly can't believe the years have passed by so fast - people tell you all the time to enjoy it while you can because that's what will happen. Sadly, they were right. My baby is no longer a baby, but a funny, smart, little girl with a big heart.

Since her birthday fell on a Thursday, I took her to Starbucks for a cake pop and hot chocolate. I sent her off to school with cupcakes for her classmates. Donned in birthday attire head to toe, that girl was excited from the moment I woke her up to the moment she went to bed. She was too funny! Friends and family wishes her happy birthday and sang to her. Tomorrow we are having her princess birthday party, then next weekend we are having one with friends and family back home. Hurrah!!

Birthday Weekend

This past weekend my little family went to Seattle for the day. We walked around Pikes Place, finally tasted some Beecher's famous Mac N Cheese, got a lavender cupcake at Cupcake Royale, then did a little shopping at Sephora and Nordstrom before heading back home to put my party dress on and go out with the girls. This week will be a continuation of my birthday celebrating along with Valentine's Day.

Lets hope this week goes a little more smoothly than last week, child sickness and work stress was killing me!

Happy Monday everyone!
