Hello!

Well the Jello Shots went over well at yesterday’s party! :D

The men were the first to perfect the technique of swirling their pinkies around the outside of the shot so the Jello slid right into their mouths…

and they were also the first to begin hucking them at each other circa 10:30pm in bro ice fashion. We made our exit shortly after that. ;)

In a moment of complete and utter laziness, I decided not to set an alarm this morning and slept in ’til 10:00am (amazing!!) then Ben and I headed over to my parent’s house for my birthday lunch!

I don’t turn 28 (ahhhh) until Tuesday, but today worked for everyone to get together and celebrate.

My Mom assembled a lunch of ALL my favorite foods, including Buffalo Chicken Dip, which we nibbled on as a yummy appetizer.

I’ve been obsessed with this combo lately and have been eating pint after pound of yummy berries the past couple weeks. Can’t get enough!

But the BEST part of the meal was, of course, the cake!

Corner piece, please.

Hope my wish comes true. ;)

Thanks family for another wonderful birthday! :D

Well Ben and I just returned from a long walk and are debating what to do tonight. He’s hungry and I’m not. That’s about as far as we’ve gotten…
