Happy Birthday to the Husband and I

Yep, we share a birthday. This year we celebrated by spending a Sunday at my parent's house swimming and grilling. Well, my dad did the grilling. Then a couple days later we met Matt's family at Babe's for dinner.

My mom made Paula Deen's Chocolate Sheet Cake. Yums.

I made an appetizer to take to their house. Pioneer Woman's French Onion Soup Stuffed Mushrooms. You know what's funny? I hate mushrooms and will not eat them alone or sprinkled on stuff. But I will eat them stuffed with cheese!

The Food~ toasted bread, smoked ribs, grilled chicken, cabbage salad, potato salad and my mom's famous deviled eggs! My family loves to cook.

I love this look on Zander's face!

Dominos kept Violet entertained for a while.

Cake & Ice Cream!

28 feels pretty good! I got some great gifts-a kindle, vintage porcelain angels (I collect them), gift card, sports bra, new wallet and money. Matt told me not to get him anything but I had to do something! So, I got him a shirt, sunglasses and beef jerky. I know beef jerky is a strange gift. I don't know why I always grab him some for his birthday and Christmas. He always laughs when he opens it but you know he eats it!

It's been a good birthday week!
