'Tis the Season

 March is birthday season for us!  It's fun to celebrate our birthdays so close together.  We celebrate all month long, which makes it just that much better.  It gives us an excuse to do and buy fun things---"well, it is our birthdays this month..." :) 
For my birthday, we went out to eat at the Olive Garden.  Mark spoiled me with beautiful tulips, a slapband watch, water bottle, cadbury eggs, croutons, and  flossers (hint hint to me).  What amazed me the most was how creative he was about giving the gifts.  He wrote me a birthday note and underlined several words.  Each underlined word was a clue to a gift.  I had to guess the gift from the clue before he would give it to me!  Way to go, Mark!  For dessert at home, we had ice cream brownie sundaes.  My favorite ice cream lately is Blue Bunny White Choc. Macadamia Nut Cookie.  Y-U-M.  He even put chocolate shavings on the top :)  Thanks for a great birthday celebration! 





 For Mark's birthday, he chose to have a special dinner at home.  Ribs, potatoes, salad, and cheesecake for dessert.  Mark loves strawberries so most of the time he chooses a dessert that has strawberries.  For his gifts, he received a coupon for Royals Game tickets, straps for a truck that we don't have yet but want, and a dutch oven for those camping trips that we plan to make but haven't yet :) 





It was a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY season for both of us!!!

I think Jax was pretty impressed by ALL those bday candles... old lady! :) And I REALLY need some of that ice cream. Can you bring some next time you come over?

P.S. I love that wire bunny on your table. CUTE!
