Halloween & My Birthday

On the actual day of Halloween we got Gavin dressed in his costume & took him to a few houses to trick or treat. He must have been getting sick of being dressed up because we could not get him to smile for one picture. Stinker!

On November 1st I celebrated my 27th birthday. Gag! I really am getting old aren't I? :) Anyhow, Doug had a huge exam the next day so we celebrated by going out the Friday before. He took me to this Italian place Carmines. Neither of us had ever been there before & it was really good. It was fun to go somewhere new & not a chain restaurant.

So on my actual birthday I got to celebrate with my girlfriends! My friend Crescent & I have the same birthday & it is really fun to be able to share in the celebration with her. Megan had a few of us over for a Tea Party Brunch.

The Birthday Girls

Megan found this darling china set at an estate sale this summer. Everything was perfect! The food was so yummy & we even drank home made hot chocolate. Yum!

We were opening our gifts & it was so funny because Crescent & I both got each other the exact same thing! Great minds really do think alike! :)

Denyse, Tiffany, Crescent, Stephanie, Me & Megan

That night we got together again with more of our friends for a GNO. We went to the movies & saw 'Eat Pray Love'. I read the book a long time ago so it was fun to see it on film. I really like Julia Roberts & it was fun seeing all the places she traveled to. I didn't love the book & I didn't love the movie, but it was great being with my gals. Afterward we headed to Steph's house for cake & ice cream.

Steph went above & beyond. She must have spent hours on this cake. Seriously, look at it. It was chocolate cake, cheesecake & frosting. Delicious!

Of coarse the candles were trick candles so I'm glad I had a partner in trying to blow them out. :)

It was a great ending to a great day. Thanks everyone for making my birthday so special!
