Celebrating the big 3-0

I must say I think this has been one of the best birthdays ever. My husband truly spoiled me. For my actual birthday he took the day off of work so that I could have a day off. It was so nice to be able to sleep in and do what I wanted when I wanted. Then on Saturday, Andy arranged for a spa day for me and my friend Kristen. Oh it was so nice being pampered. I did not want to go home. Next, we headed downtown to our favorite restaurant, Sullivan's, where we wined (well Andy wined and I had a sparkly cosmo) and dined on steak and of course my favorite mac n' cheese. To end it all we will celebrate with my parents tonight with one of my favorite meals, manicotti. It is a special meal that I use to share with my grandma Erickson. We shared the same birthday and she would have been 80. I now share my birthday with my favorite nephew, Nolan!

Here is a picture of me when I was a baby. Now don't be jealous of my awesome hair.

My birthday cakes. My parents sent me a flower cake since they could not bake me one on my actual birthday. Andy made the real one and he did it all by himself. I am very impressed with his work.

My flower cake. It is so beautiful!


Me and my girls. The best way to celebrate!
