A Sweet & Simple Celebration

We honored my 37th circle around the sun last week. It was a sweet and simple celebration that was filled with family and fun.  This year I was really touched by the gifts I received that were just "so me." It feels good to be "known" in this way.  Here are some highlights from my birthday weekend...

Saturday at the Cincinnati Art Museum...

A lovely surprise...

 Yummy brunch with my folks (and I sleepy Josie)...

A GROUNDHOG CAKE For my Groundhog's Day birthday....AKA the coolest cake ever....

A trip to see the Frozen Sing-along because, birthday or no, I couldn't deny the wee ones this joy. See them down front?

A special gift from special friends...

The girls bought me some a beautiful little primrose and a bracelet that they picked out all by themselves that is pretty darn cool. Lou's gift will come in May when we will kick it "Early Days of Carri & Lou" style by hitting the road to go see a summer concert - in this case GREAT tix for Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros with Jack Johnson. For realz! 

Happy, happy birthday to me. It's going to be a GOOOOOOOD year, just you wait and see...
