Birthday

Had the best birthday!  Met up at Krispy Kreme for breakfast with dear friends.

Where it was in fact, NOT, dress like a pirate day this year.  ?????

Then met up at a dear friends' to carpool 40 minutes to the party.  Our sweet friend had thoughtfully prepared a drinks to go station for us to fuel up before hitting the road.

Maverick and Goose are always the best part of this particular drive.  These two are hilarious at the wheel and in the co-pilot seat.

Arrived to the most beautiful table set and a Bollywood/Indian spread.  

Heidi always does the most amazing parties.  And always dresses in the theme.

I am forever thankful for these beautiful ladies. They are lovely inside and out, and have carried me through a difficult year.  They are the light in my life, and I am forever changed because of them.  What a beautiful day spent with them to celebrate another year of life. 

Then headed out with the family for dinner at our favorite Boulder haunt.

Late into the evening after we got home, a sweet neighbor and friend brought me over a hydrangea cake that SHE MADE!  If you know what a special place hydrangea hold in my heart, in my Rhode Island garden, and in my place of love, you will know how much this sweet act meant to me.  My hydrangea in Rhode Island all signified a special event in my life; a job, a new baby, mother's day.  And my sweet Boston friend send me one that was sitting on our counter in this new home when we arrived (so sad and lonely) with a note that is to this day pinned to my bulletin board, and makes me weep every time I see it.  I just cannot tell you how blessed I feel to have these people in my life.  I am so lucky!
