Happy! Happy Birthday!

Happy Monday Everybody! Last Wednesday (February 20th) was my birthday! There's nothing like a birthday smack dab in the middle of the week! HaHaHa I had a little get-together at the house that included family & friends. It kind of reminded me of the birthday table in the1981 Altered Images happy birthday video (see below). We snacked on ham & turkey poboy sandwiches, shrimp & tasso pasta, and fried drummettes. The food was catered by Robert Fresh Market. My birthday cake was made by Swiss Confectionery. It was chocolate and decorated with pink & white butter cream icing. They also baked my cake last year (click HERE). I received beautiful messages from fellow bloggers & friends, a Coach bag, JCrew gift card, MOR marshmallow bath products, Sephora e-Gift card, and moneyyy. I had a wonderful evening and I'm truly blessed. Here are some snapshots.

    Happy belated birthday, Kim! It's a shame it had to be in the middle of the week this year, but it looks like you still celebrated in style with lots of delicious food :) The photos of your cake really have me questionning my choice of breakfast this morning. I mean, why did I go for applesauce when I could have had cake? Ha ha. Wishing you much happiness for the year ahead!
