Birthday Bliss

May 11, 2009 - Yesterday I celebrated my 27th birthday and it was perfect. It started with a long walk with my husband, followed by eggs and morels for breakfast (Joe had a few left hidden away in the refrigerator - I got my last nibble after all!) -

Then we went to the first farmer's market of the season where we picked up some fresh spinach, mushrooms, and some local cheeses. Next we went shopping for my birthday gift - a reclining lawn chair so that I can sit outside and read in the sunshine - heaven!

And then it was time for a huge lobster dinner with my whole family! I couldn't believe that everyone came, what with it being Mother's Day and all. But apparently all you have to do is say the word lobster and people show up!

Here's me sporting my "Me Me Me" pin which I gave to my mother for Mother's Day and she ceremoniously gave back to me at 5:30, when the attention was turned to me -

And me putting together my birthday pound cake with strawberries and butter cream frosting -

It was a fantastic birthday - thank you to all my family and friends who spent the evening with me or called/wrote to wish me a happy day.

And a huge thank you to my wonderful husband, who treated me like a queen all day and cooked my morels and lobster for me!
