Birthday Celebration

My birthday started off great. I slept in until about 11:30 and woke up to find a sweet card from John



and then later there was a knock on the door and I got flowers from Virginia.



That night we headed to Houlihan's for happy hour. They have fantastic deals and all night happy hour drink prices so if you haven't gone there - go!

Here's the group. Thank you all for coming out to celebrate with me!



My drink of choice for the evening. I love this wine, but cannot find it ANYHERE in stores.



Kate was really mean and bought Erin and I birthday shots :)



Deanna also has a March birthday



She also got me the cutest gift bag ever



I got a bottle of wine and the cutest wine charms ever and a gift card.



Here's me, Lauren and Julie



and me and the hubs



The cake was a flourless cake so Deanna could have some (no wheat for her). It was my first attempt at one and it turned out ok. The cake is just REALLY rich.





We left the dogs outside when we left and it kind of rained a bit. We knew there'd be some muddy paws, but Rufus? Rufus looked like this



Not the worse that we've ever seen, but the mud on the face? How did he get mud on his face?



So despite the muddy dog that required a full bath, it was a great birthday!
