Birthday Wrap-Up

June 20, 2011 by Courtney 28 Comments

I wish I could say that I have some fabulous project to show you . . . but alas the weekend was spent relaxing and enjoying family. I happened to share my birthday with Father’s day this year, so we definitely had a lot of celebrating going on.


I had to show you this darling flower arrangement that my brother and sister in law sent me. It was such a cute way to kick off the birthday . . . nothing says party like margarita flowers! IMG_2029 And these pink peonies definitely brought a smile to my face IMG_2035 My sweet husband took me out for sushi on Saturday night and then we spent Sunday evening with family at my sister’s house. As always, she had a fantastic party complete with yummy treats.  IMG_2039 IMG_2045   And thank you to my mom for making one of my favorite desserts! IMG_2071   One of the highlights was definitely watching daddy teach our little man how to play badminton. It was priceless. He is quite the determined little thing! IMG_2063IMG_2097IMG_2099IMG_2109 It was a rare weekend where we did nothing on “the list!” We simply spent time together, snuck in a date night by the beach, and enjoyed being together. And a huge thank you to my hubby for making my birthday celebration so special. I hope you all had a great Father’s Day weekend. I will be back tomorrow with Take 5 Tuesday!!!! Can’t wait to share more simple and quick projects with you. Just in time for summer!

    At first I was thinking it would be the pits to split your bday with father's day, but sounds like you had a fabulous one anyway. Those marg flowers are great! xoxo, happy bday, doll!

    Is that Fruit Pizza?? (I don't know if that's what other people call it, but that's what I call it!… on a pastry-type dough, with cream cheese on the bottom, layered with fruit and covered in a clear syrup-y sauce! Mmmmm) Haven't had that in forever!

    Ah! How did your birthday slip by without me sending you some love on the actual day?!!! I'm so glad it was great. I swear, your family is just the cutest! And I'm so jealous that it's "jeans weather" over there! Happy Birthday Court!!!
