{Celebrate} My Birthday!

January 13, 2012 § 12 Comments

Friday, Jan 13th is a very good day! It’s my birthday today & I’m celebrating all throughout. It began with a giggle – tickle session with my little one & husband in bed. And today will end on a very sweet note when my two favorite people, my husband & little one bake me a lemon birthday cake avec lemon frosting.

My husband has baked me a lemon cake for as long as we’ve been together which amounts to quite a few cakes. I think it’s so endearing not to mention it’s one of my favorite gifts each year. Yes, the cake is delicious, but it’s his act of doing that melts my heart. And now that my little one is old enough to participate, it’s doubly sweet!

This weekend & through the remainder of the month many more celebrations are in order. I truly look forward to celebrating with the people I love most & sharing new birthday experiences with them!

Bisous,

Jill

{Celebrate} My Birthday List

It’s my birthday month. Some people celebrate just on their special day. While others let the festivities flow into the following weekend. Celebrating with a birthday week is not uncommon, but why limit it? A birthday month is much more fun!
