It was a beautiful, long, and fun-filled birthday weekend! I can’t believe how fast it went by. It was one of the best birthdays I have had in a while! On Saturday night, Tyler took me to The Cheesecake Factory, and surprised me by having parents, brother & sister-in-law, our best friend, and his mom there when I arrived. It was so fun! We were there for about 3 hours but I didn’t mind, I love to sit and talk and laugh with the people I love. I was honestly so surprised because I did not expect that at all, I loved it! I really had a great time. I wore my new maxi dress that I got from Old Navy for $15. Here is a pic of me and my sugar, he was talking to my dad hehe:

On Sunday, my actual birthday, we went to the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston. It was a beautiful day for a zoo trip! I was able to wear my khaki jacket with some leggings and moccasins. It was just LoVeLy. Tyler got me a bouquet of flowers, some Maple Leaf cookies from Trader Joe’s (my FAV) and the most adorable Pandora ring ever (I may or may not have emailed him a ton of hints for this one lol). Here is a pic of the ring, and also how pretty the people at Pandora wrapped it!

Don’t mind my stubby fingers, it is not a gene I wanted to inherit.

I also made my own birthday cake, as I said I would. Just made a vanilla funfetti cake with vanilla marshmallow buttercream. The buttercream came out a lot better this time cause I used unsalted butter and I put a dash of vanilla extract! It was a big hit:

Also, I got this Dooney and Bourke bag from my parents for my birthday. I love it! It holds a lot of my stuff but is not too big. Perfect for my upcoming trip to Kitty Hawk, NC and HOPEFULLY Disney in September!!! (This pic is filtered, from my Instagram):

Thanks for reading! Hoping to bake some oatmeal cake this week, with a cream cheese icing! Will let you know. Have a lovely day people!!!!!
