As a typical girl, I celebrate my birthday for as long as my friends and family let me! My actual birthday is on Tuesday but since it's a three day weekend, I feel what a better way to celebrate than all weekend? Sounds good, right? Thanks for agreeing : ).
Yesterday was a nice day and it started out with Spanish lessons with Claire early in the a.m. The girls {Claire and her sister, Caroline} got me some pretty cute cards. We decided to take a picture together and Caroline {the littlest one} insisted on a funny pic--so I obliged!

Then later we headed out to O'Charley's to meet my Mom, Tom, Maw Maw, and Paw Paw for my absolute favorite meal: chipotle chicken tenders! Don't laugh--they're reallllly good!

We of course made a couple stops out and about to Pier One and Target where I got some pretty fun finds in addition to my birthday presents.

Tonight I'm headed to E-ville to meet up with two of my favorites for dinner {and probably a long one} to celebrate and catch up. I suspect we'll be there for at least three hours---I'm pretty sure the staff hates us and gives us the evil eye to leave. Oh well!
Tomorrow's agenda calls for dinner with my sweet in-laws! Yay for birthday weekends!
