Oh, what a day!

I had the perfect day on Monday, celebrating my 28th birthday. I love having a March birthday because it's always getting warmer, with the promise of spring soon to come. It was a beautiful, sunny day!

The day started with a delicious brunch made by my mama! My sister and her kiddos came, too, to help celebrate. Everything was so pretty, girly, and yummy. I loved it!!

After brunch, I dropped Claire off at my friend Bridget's house for her nap and I got to go shopping ALL BY MYSELF!!! It was such a nice treat!

After naps, we met some more friends downtown for some play time at the ped mall.

We even got some yummy birthday gelato!

Then my friend Lindsey stopped by with some pretty birthday flowers. Justin came home with a fun present from "Claire" - a cookie cake! I've always told him I want one sometime for my birthday and he remembered! Look how pretty it is.

He even had them write "Happy Day Day" on it, since that is how Claire says Happy Birthday. It was so sweet and thoughtful and, in pure Annie fashion, it made me cry! :)

And I loved the card he got me from Claire so much that I had to take a picture of it. Sooo cute and funny!

I also got the most amazing gift from Justin - a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure, spending money to go shopping, and a 'coupon' for a day of watching Claire while I go enjoy my main/pedi and some shopping. How sweet and thoughful is that man?! After all of that excitement, Justin took me out to a special dinner at Vesta. It was delish! What a totally perfect day! Thanks to everyone who made it so special!! :) I felt so loved!
