veinte seis


it's true.
i am 26.

we had the most spectacular get together last friday when chris returned home.
rikki was the mastermind behind the decor and lari the food.
needless to say,
it was all INCREDIBLE!
i think i'll turn 26 every year.
thank you everyone for cards and phone calls, i have the best family and friends anyone could ever hope for!

any guesses on what she's cookin?
here's a big hint:
CREPES!
yummy, delicious, nutella-filled crepes!
we also had other tempting fillings including:
puddings
lemon curd
blueberries
strawberries
bananas
and lots of nuts

truth be told,
i ate three crepes in all and then licked the nutella spoon!

i'll be posting pics of my first roll when they are developed.... I'm feeling giddy with anticipation!

i will finally be able to roll out tortillas without feeling my arms wobble to and fro!

a cookie scoop!!!
now i can have perfectly even cookies every time! eek! I'm so excited to test it out!

was waiting on those b-day pics- guess the days of ballons are gone- it's too easy. Love those flowers and the table setting. :)

I wish I could have my bdays at your house. Decorated and all the right gifts. How could you not feel like the guest of honor and loved!

Happy Birthday to you! I am jealous of the tortilla press. Making tortillas is so easy, but definitely way better with a press ... I might just put that on my wish list!
