mama's birthday


i just celebrated yet another birthday. birthdays are a big deal for me. i have a history of referring to my big day as a birthday month, and more recently birthday week. as i get older and try to talk dan into my extra large birthday celebrations i now squeeze out a birthday weekend.



although i sound a little like "her majesty" i really don't demand that much. just a couple of days full of my favorite things. this year my couple of days of favorite things included coffee, yoga, pizza, cake/cupcakes, lunch out, funny hats, spring weather, dinner cooked for me, nothing planned and presents. it was lovely!









the pictures with the hat are from a mid-week birthday party thrown by my mom and aunt, and the other pics are from opening presents with the fam.

a detail you all might enjoy is that i decided to make myself a birthday cake as a way to practice making donovan's birthday cake. i have been trying to think of how to make a cake that looks like brown bear, brown bear from the eric carle book....which is donovan's favorite. so after lots of research and thinking i made a delicious cake that looks like a rodent of sorts. oh well.
