Celebrating And Then Celebrating Some More

Filed under: Happenings — Joy @ 11:05 pm

It has been a festive week around here! You can never really have to much birthday I have decided! ;) Last Tuesday Brad and I went out to dinner just the two of us to a place that I have been wanting to try for some time now. It was really yummy and being a Tuesday night it was not so crowded at all! That is where the celebrating all began and even now it is still not over so how fun is that! Thursday we had a fun lunch date with my mom! We went to one of my current favorite restaurants and hubby met us as well. I received some really fun rain boots that I will have to post about soon. Friday night we had two couples over for dinner and a “friendly” (not so friendly) game of Catan. I did end up making those Catan cupcakes as well. I copied the resources from the game so we had wheat, ore, brick, sheep and wood. Nothing to fancy just fun! The winner of the game got to take home a pretty cool crown and even though we ended up playing two games the same person won twice (nope, it wasn’t me). Saturday we celebrated as a family at home. Brad and the kiddos sent me on a fun scavenger hunt all around the house to find one most incredible gift at the end….drum roll….a new sewing machine! I was so surprised and a fun surprise at that! The whole evening was just really sweet. My actual birthday fell on Mother’s Day this year (how fun is that) we had fun with our Mom’s and poor Sister was so confused with all the Birthday and Mother’s Day celebrating going on. I think that she finally gave up trying to figure it all out in her head. Birthday’s are very big in my husbands family so we will be celebrating with them this weekend as well. Pretty fun, I would say! Here are a few pictures from Friday nights festivities as well as the scavenger hunt clues!
