It's my party . . . . .

My birthday is on the 16th.
My last year in my 20s.
:(
We already did a little celebrating at my Grandparent's house.
I was surprised with some fun gifts.

My parents gave me one of my great grandmother's rings.


It is stunning and a real treasure to me.
One of those possessions that truly truly mean something.
I own very few things that mean something so wonderful. My family history.
I love it.

My baby sister (who works at Olive Garden) brought me a to die for piece of lemon cream cake.


Doesn't that look heavenly?
Well, it was. Believe me.


We decided to give our own little present at the party.
We pretended the gift was from Davin.
I pulled this out of the box :

(thank you to my brother Rob for the pictures)

It was fun to see the reactions. Especially because my baby brother and his wife are also having a baby in July. Double the fun.
We are very excited for our family to grow again.
What a happy birthday it has been.
