I felt so special these friends insisted on taking me to my birthday breakfast which happens to on the coldest day of this winter! They are my rocks and my prayer warriors! Thank you so much for getting my butt out to treat me to a yummy food and fellowship! I complained that my family did nothing on my birthday but when I came home Shane wrote me an apologetic letter. ( ok I told him he has to do something for me earlier)

This truly made my day… Love you my sweet boy.

Had a few of my girl friends over for a very festive holiday dinner.
I made roasted golden beets salad with truffle burrata, lamb chops with rosemary & garlic as appetizers, and for main, I served Frutti di Mare with lobster.
For dessert, I combined red wine, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, brown sugar, boiled with berries then after it was cooled and chilled, I topped it with frozen yogurt. It was such a refreshing yummy treat.

We sent to Sight & Sound theater to see David today with friends family. 
I really love all the show we watch here ever year!

These two came voluntarily to offer help with Chloe’s party tonight! They literally did all the clean-ups, not to mention help with guest coats and serving food! They were the best help anyone could ask for! I can’t thank you enough how much I appreciated the help and I was just happy you guys came to keep me company! Love you guys!!!

Happy birthday my sweet girl!!! You make me so incredibly proud to be your mom and I thank God each day for what a beautiful gift you are to me. You are that cool girl I always wished I could be! You are only sixteen but you are a warrior. You are brave in all the ways that matter. You stand firm in what you believe and you don’t waver at the dramas around you. I am in awe of the beautiful young woman you are and becoming. Love you so much, my firstborn child!
