Matthew's Birthday Week

October 6th was a wonderful day. This is the day that my husband was brought forth into the world ... and to his request, we celebrated very low key. He woke up to cinnamon rolls!! We hung out all day and literally spent the day "lolly-gagging."

To his request, I fried battered shrimp and french fries, then cooked spinach. We ended the day with coke floats using icedream from Chick-fil-a!! It was a nice and relaxing day!


And then on Friday evening, our friend Laura cooked us dinner at her place.
She set her table with flowers, candles, sparkling grape juice chilling in a bucket, and mints.
She made chicken Parmesan with pasta, fresh broccoli, bread sticks, and a beautiful cream cheese-apple tart for dessert.
It was so nice to have a dinner "out."
After she cooked, she left for her friends, so we could have the night to ourselves.
A few pictures to capture the evening:

Happy Birthday!!

(and thank you Laura! The evening was delightful!)
