In case you didn't believe me when I said we got a lot of snow...we did! This was in the Target parking lot during one of the first snowfalls we got...and I thought this was supposed to be a light winter?!
I've been taking a ton of photos of these tulips I bought last week. I thought it would be fun to document how they change each day. I only missed one day. Luckily they hadn't really changed the from the day before. More on that later....
The night before my birthday, my family and I went to Macaroni Grill. We go there every year for my birthday since it's my favorite restaurant. As we were paying for our food and getting ready to leave, mom had said, "Happy Birthday!" Our waitress overheard and she turned around and asked who's birthday it was. I told her it was mine and she said, "wait a minute!" A few seconds later she returned with this piece of cake. She said they were out of chocolate so she got lemon. How did she know that would have been my second choice anyway?! For anyone wondering, this cake was phenomenal! SO much better than the chocolate (and I like chocolate!), I would recommend it to anyone who likes lemon even just a little bit.
Can you tell we LOVED it?! YUMMY!

| Family photo at my 22nd birthday! |
This was on my real birthday, on the 4th. When I was little my dad used to get these ice cream clowns every year for my birthday. (They had to be the green kind a.k.a. mint chocolate chip.) Somewhere over the years the tradition got lost, but this year it made a comeback. I know it may seem kind of funny or childish, especially for turning 22 years old, but it brought back such good memories of my childhood. A time when things were much different than they are now (and I don't mean that because of the many years that have passed). I am so glad I associate these ice cream clowns with my dad. It is something I know I will never, ever forget and I hope we continue to tradition again!
The cake mom made and decorated for me the day after my birthday. Enjoy!
