My 23rd Birthday

Yesterday I turned 23! The day started out with a delicious breakfast in bed. Nathan also made sure to wake up Annie (2 hours before she normally wakes up) because evidently, "Annie wanted to be woken up to serve mom breakfast too". She was exhausted and fell back asleep right after breakfast was finished. Nathan fixed french toast, sausage, and eggs, my favorites!

When he got home from work I opened my presents. Annie also "bought" me a present, a new shirt, which I loved. Funny story about that... Nathan wrapped Annie's gift then wrote on the wrapping, "To Mom... Love, (then traced Annie's little hand). I then looked at Annie's hand and it was covered in brown marker. Evidently, "she wouldn't sit still", typical 6 month old :) I quickly wiped it up before she decided to suck it off.

Later that night, Nathan made me dinner and invited a few of our friends over to have some cake and ice cream. He made a rainbow chip cake. I know I may be a bit too old for it, but it's still my favorite! It was delicious.
Some of our closest friends!
"The Roommates"- I love how Annie is the only one looking at the camera.
After the party, Annie was in a very snugly mood, which was a perfect way to end the day!
And last but not least... my wonderful, exhausted, husband, who spoiled me all day long! Only 364 more days till my next birthday!
