Croissants and Cricut Cut-outs!

Happy Twos-day, friends!  *Tuesday, 2-22-2022!!*  In honor of this momentous occasion, I'm posting two blogs today.  But really, I'd have done that either way. lol

On Friday night, I had a lovely birthday dinner with several of my favorite people at Charleston's!!  Thanks to Jeffrey Edward for taking this group picture for us! =)  Very thankful for this group!

In all my stress over trying not to annoy people via group text, I apparently forgot that I decided to schedule this dinner at 6:00 for the sake of all the parents of young children.  I wrote that in the group text then changed the date, then I made our reservation for Friday at 6:30 at Charleston's.  I had no idea until I was a little ways into my drive and got a text from Jeff that they were all in the lobby... eeeek!  My apologies to everyone for making them wait... Sarah had texted that she was running about 15 minutes late, but it turned out they were 15 minutes early instead.  Here's Chet Lee grabbing a delicious croissant to help keep the kids happy while they waited on me...lol  Their croissants are the best!

The Moss fam and the Wilsons both got me some beautiful flowers... and Karli made this fun Cricut cut-out of my face on a stick... I've always loved those when she makes them for Tate's birthday parties, so this made me very happy! lol

Me and Kelly Marie!  (And my potato soup where I forgot to say "no bacon or chives."  I was distracted by feeling guilty about accidentally being late to my own party. lol)

Uncle Chet and baby Kate!

Lindsey Claire and Katherine Claire... she really wanted to grab my necklace and earrings (and the knives and forks and everything within reach, so I held her lil' hands for a bit, and she did not appreciate it!

The Moss fam bought my dinner, and the Shoemakers bought my dessert!  The Wilsons brought happy pink candles and a Cricut cake topper...

Ahhh, I love it!! ❤

So now I have it in multiple sizes - huzzah! lol

This was the first time I had seen most of this group in 2022, so it was nice to catch up on life, take some fun photos, and laugh with each other.  And that's my recap of part 3 of my birthday celebration!  Good times!! ❤
