Another year older...

Well another year has passed... I have been very blessed this past year! With a wonderful family and the addition of Seth nearly 3 months ago I couldn't wait to celebrate with them. We headed out to the Boardwalk to do a little shopping beforehand then headed to Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro. We love this place! The food is to die for and of course their desserts are out of this world! Plus their lounge (aka The Ice Bar) is pretty swanky too!

With everyone in tow, including my in-laws, we were ready to celebrate. And to celebrate my birthday we all had martinis! I opted for the Garden District drink which I forgot what all was in it but it was very good! It only took 1 drink for me to get a bit whoozy. Man, I've turned into a lightweight! :) Here I am with my drink...CHEERS!

After ordering our entrees, which by the way I ordered the Crawfish Ravioli, we took some pics to pass the time. I love how these came out. I am just so blessed to have such a wonderful and amazing family!

Here I am with the kiddos! Abby just absolutely loves her baby brother!

Not sure what was up with Abby's face here but here she is with her daddy.

And here is Grams with the grandkids! Then our food arrived...

Abby requested spaghetti for dinner. And yes, this was a child's plate!

Abby just loves her pasta...without sauce of course! That seems to be a favorite at several restaurants. We try to get her to taste the marinara sauce, and she will, but that's it. No mixing it together.

Now it was time for dessert!

With so many choices to choose from I finally decided on the Black and White Tuxedo Cheesecake. Oh my.... talk about SINFULLY DELICIOUS!!! This is a new favorite of ours!

After a wonderful dinner we headed home and I opened up my gifts. I had to include pics of these two adorable cards I got from the kids. They made me tear up and I just love how Abby is improving on her handwriting!

My oh-so-cute card from Seth.

With Abby's help it was sooooo adorable! She loves to write her name and yes, she loves XO's!

Here is Abby's card...

Too cute!
