weekend

I had the best birthday weekend.  Brandon and I went to O-Ku on Friday night and later stopped by Halls for a nightcap.


Saturday, my actual birthday, was started off with those very anticipated chocolate chip pancakes.  Oh, and a princess balloon bouquet and banner.  Little ways to my heart.

During breakfast, Brandon let me know that I had an appointment for a facial at my favorite place 45 minutes later.  He made sure to point out that he made this appointment for me two weeks before I mentioned it on my birthday lust list here on the blog!  Immediately after that, my mom surprised me with an appointment for a mani and pedi.  Even Brandon joined me.  Lots of little indulgent surprises!



 ...followed by lunch at Saffron (thanks to Brandon's mom!).  Perfect afternoon!


I was surprised with these pretties when we got home. 


...and then my parents arrived!  After visiting for a little, we jumped right into the cake & ice cream.  Getting those candles lit was truly a group effort.  Later, we went to Saturday mass & had dinner at Coast.


As for Sunday...  Well, Brandon and I spent the entire day on the couch watching Orange is the New Black on Netflix.  Literally - the. whole. day. - with the slight exception of a little tennis match.  

This birthday was a slam dunk.  To those of you who commented on the blog or on instagram, thank you for the birthday wishes!  
Hope y'all have a great week.  I'm hoping to breeze through this one.  My mom, MIL, and I are hosting a bridal shower for one of my absolute dearest friends this Saturday.  I can't wait!
