Birthday Love!!

As I mentioned before, I enjoy birthdays very much! I had so much fun on mine, and I was showered with birthday love! Thank you!!

I started off my morning with a birthday breakfast from my department at work. At the office:

Then Hank came to pick me up, and we headed to Crossroads at The Carolina Inn for lunch.

I loved it!! I already can't wait to go back. I had The Carolina Inn Burger that I blogged about previously here. It was really great. When I asked the waiter for suggestions, he said, "Ohhh, The Carolina Inn Burger is da bomb." How could you not order it after that?

After work I came home to a lovely display complete with princess wrapping paper!!

We had my favorite Tuna Salad that I always blog about for birthday dinner... I may be obsessed. We had 3-2-1 Bay Breezes to drink:

3 Cups Pineapple Juice

2 Cups Coconut Rum

1 Cup Light Cranberry Juice

I forever love the BIRTHDAY SONG!! Especially when my friends and family call to sing it... So special!!

This is the last year I only need one pack of candles. You know you're getting old when...

My friend Maura sent me Eleni's from New York! They are "playfully unique cookies."

Too cute...

My fam gifted me this super cute vanity redesigned by my favorite lady at Furbish Studio:



Complete with owl knob (of course):

Here is my birthday Elaine O'Neil art from HANK!! He hung them so perfectly... My human calculator : ) I love coming upstairs to see this playful reminder of all that is beautiful at UNC.



Birthdays are all about celebrating your life, and I felt very birthday princess on mine : )
