Family Photos: My 32nd Birthday!

To paraphrase Taylor Swift, I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 32…

Yes, friends, I celebrated my grand birthday yesterday, which, as you know, is one of my favorite days of the entire year! Just like in years past, I celebrated in style (literally, since I wore one of my classic polo shirts…), and my trusty new smartphone was there to capture all the magic and adventure…

The weekend kicked off with the delivery of our new washer. The verdict: My mom’s in love. A deep and passionate in love. She gets giddy every time she puts in a new load.

I started off my actual birthday with a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, my new favorite cereal…

 It was such a beautiful summer day, so we picked up Panera and headed to a local park…

We enjoyed a picnic, surrounded by tall trees and greener-than-green grass. And speaking of my birthday food, what did I choose for my dessert??

A Dairy Queen Blizzard…Reese’s flavor, to be exact. It was the perfect blend of creamy vanilla ice cream and rich chocolate. And yes, I’m now craving another one after just typing that last sentence!

And we finished off the day with an evening game of Bananagrams, which I won… 😉

Thank you for all the wonderful Facebook messages, tweets and general loveliness! All in all, I can’t say that 32 feels all that different from 31…yet. I’m excited about what the next year will bring, and I’m so happy you’ll be joining me on this wild adventure, friends!! xoxo
