celebrating

the six weeks or so between february 14th & april 1st,

we celebrate 4 out of 6 of our birthdays,

valentines, april fools day and our anniversary.

we've also turned birthday celebrations into a 3-4 day gig.

do ya'll do the same?

friday night, caroline wanted everyone, "sissies and trevor too", to head intown and eat at willy's on caroline street. we are a suburban family who basically spends our weekends intown. dan & i would move there in a heart beat!

we were headed out for desert later

& madison would be making an ice cream pie for her actual birthday,

so i just picked up a little mini-cake for her to blow out candles at dinner that evening.

 

 

 

we headed over to decatur to visit yogurt tap.

i practiced my evening photography on (yikes) manual setting

while dan drove forever trying to find a parking spot.

savannah demonstrated "the eighth grader" pose.

emily, the token eighth grader, appreciated big sis's humor.

 

one of the sweetest things is when my girls make birthday cards for each other. precious.

i think more than one of my daughters has a crush on trevor,

who showed up later in the weekend with some tennessee garb for his fellow UT fan.

 

for her birthday dinner she requested edie's spicy tomato soup.

i ordered sourdough breadbowls from publix

drizzled with evoo & sea salt and baked them to make the already fresh bread nice & crusty

 

chopped some fresh basil

add some crumbled blue cheese & voila

 

the weather has been glorious

so we've been enjoying dining al fresco

 

the end.
