Birthday Love

Our family l o v e s birthdays and the celebration they bring with them. Especially two adorable grandchildren who live far on the east coast.  We love it when everyone can be together, but that doesn't often happen.  We also love to stretch out the birth-D A Y and turn it into a birthweek or even a birthmonth!  Isn't that much more fun and festive?? My birthday lands in one of the most beautiful months of the year.  September. Yesterday we met our Salt Lake family in Bountiful and enjoyed a meal together at The Mandarin.  They know their Chinese dishes and it's a treat to dine there.  Lindsey brought a box full of cupcakes from the Sweet Tooth Fairy and we had a great time together.  I sure feel blessed with the family I was born into, married into and gave birth to :)
 This morning Mark made us Peach Crepes for breakfast and for dinner, he and Em cooked up a delightful steak dinner and we dined al fresco.  The drinks slowly savored...Brazilian Lemonade.  Spoiled rotten.  September is magical. 
And they tell me they attempted a Lemon Pie...and there are a few gifts on the fireplace :)
