My 23rd B-Day

I turned 23 last week, so this post is a little late, but I had a great birthday thanks to my wonderful husband, family, and in-laws.

My birthday was on a Sunday and we don't have church until 1, so I got to sleep in and then David made me a lovely breakfast of bacon and french toast with whipped cream and strawberries. It was delicious!

After church, we went up to SJ to see my family. My mother made a fabulous dinner - chicken cordon bleu, mashed potatoes, spinach salad, fresh strawberries, homemade rolls...all of my favorites! (And luckily I didn't know about the 'borderline' gestational diabetes yet - so I could eat all of it!)

Then we opened presents - my main present from my mom was the stroller/carseat for baby Taylor-yay!

The boys got tired and fell asleep after the whole 5 minutes of unwrapping presents. :)

Then we had some cheesecake - also one of my favorites. I always have cheesecake on my birthday because I don't really love cake that much, and my sister makes it just the way I like!

David's sisters and mom were in Europe on my birthday, but when they came home they brought me lovely gifts from Italy and Switzerland.

As a bedtime "snack", David made my favorite treat at this time of year - fresh strawberry shakes. You can tell how much I love strawberries because they were in every meal I requested for the day!
