My Birthday

To celebrate my birthday this year we did a Low Country Boil.  This basically consists of shrimp, potatoes, sausage, corn and for me we added crab legs.  Dinner was delicious.  I'm even thinking about having this again for my birthday dinner next year.


For dessert, Brian ordered me a birthday cake from Apple Annies.  It was chocolate cake with strawberries.  So so good!  It was so pretty I kind of didn't want to eat it.

Happy Birthday Maggie!

Happy Birthday Maggie!


This year I decided to get her a birthday cake.  Yes, I got her a doggie birthday cake.  A local shop here called Coastal K-9 Bakery makes natural and organic dog treats and cakes for dogs.  I thought why not.  I got her an Apple Oatmeal birthday cake.  Maggie loved it.  We even saved enough so that when we celebrated our anniversary, she could have cake too.

Maggie wouldn't look up.  All she wanted was her cake!

Happy Birthday Brian!

Happy Birthday Brian!

We celebrated Brian's birthday a few days early.  Nothing too big, we had his family over for dinner and cake.  It seems as we get older, our birthday celebrations get smaller and more low key.  Why is that?

Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday this year I wanted to be low key.  I guess as you get older, you don't get as excited for your birthday as you did when you were little.  Or maybe it is the fact that we are planning a wedding and didn't really feel the need to spend money.  My desk at work was decorated and I did get an iPod (thank you Brian) and two of my favorite meals for my birthday.  Mexican and Thanksgiving dinner.

Happy Birthday Lucas!

I went home to Ohio to help celebrate my nephew's 1st birthday.  Aunt Autumn and Uncle Brian got him a little drum set that includes a bunch of noisy instruments.  I think Lucas liked the drum sticks best.

 

Happy Birthday Brian!

We celebrated Brian's birthday yesterday.  We had dinner, his mom made the birthday cake and then we played Beatles Rock Band.  For the next 7 months we are the same age and I'm not robbing the cradle.  This is what he says anyway.

Happy Birthday Autumn!

My birthday day this year was quiet. We pretty much just hung around the house. Which was fine with me. We we did go to a Def Leppard and Poison concert, but that really wasn't part of my birthday. It just happened at the same time. Brian made me a chocolate cake, from scratch, for me, and we went to his parents house for a BBQ. Other than that nothing to exciting, except we were able to get a crazy picture of Maggie playing in the back yard. She is chasing after a Frisbee type toy and I got her in mid air. She does catch it. She sure doesn't act like a dog that is seven years old!

Birthdays

This weekend we celebrated Brian's sister and brother-in-laws birthdays. They wanted mexican for lunch so we had fajitas, rice, and beans. For dessert, cheesecake. Recently we purchased a wii and they wanted to play the NASCAR Cart game that we got. Needless to say it was a family affair of racing and trying to wreck each other. I believe that everyone had fun.

Happy Birthday Brian!

Today is Brian's 30th Birthday. We had a small celebration here at the house with just family. Brian wanted to do barbecue so we had that and for dessert we had key lime cupcakes. His nephew Aidan enjoyed them really well.

Kenny Chesney

On Friday Brian and me went to see Kenny Chesney with Leann Rimes. This was my birthday present from him. I had a blast and even though Brian is not a Kenny fan, let alone a country fan, I think he did really well. The best part is is we were able to leave the parking lot and had no trouble at all getting out. It was not at all like our experience when we went to Darlington.

Happy 30th!

30 years ago on August 10th at 6:19pm I was born. Happy Birthday to me! We celebrated my birthday with a small party. We had my parents, Brian's parents, Brian's sister, brother-in-law and nephew, and my friend Christine and her son Jackson. My parents were able came into town to help celebrate. We went to the beach and the zoo. I was also finally able to have my chocolate cake and seven minute icing for the first time in about 5 years. Overall it was fun and I'm glad my parents were able to come down. I miss them already. So far 30 isn't so bad.
