No birthday celebration would be complete without the inability to button your pants after overeating at a favorite restaurant. This years restaurant of choice was Mexican. We enjoyed our meal so much that we decided to go back for round two the very next night with Gran C.
Two nights of endless bowls of chips and dip was almost more than I could handle…
There was a slightly “off” balloon man, that MR referred to as “awww-kward”,
seven Happy birthday singing Mexicans,
and two sombreros for the birthday girls.
There was also a birthday surprise that Gran C and I found at a local antique store. For months, I had been searching for a sturdy farm table to replace our old, hand-me-down, breakfast room table. I feel in love with a few on Pottery Barn, but was reluctant because the reviews were so bad. As soon as we laid eyes on this table and chair set, I knew that it would be the perfect replacement. It was inexpensive, and more importantly, rustic and child-friendly!
After swearing off Mexican for at least a week, we decided to spend Saturday outdoors, enjoying the fall weather. We packed a picnic for five and headed to the Square. It just so happened that the great folks of Marietta were hosting a Halloween Happenings festival to benefit local businesses. There was plenty to do and even more to see.

There was also a delicious birthday cake waiting for us when we returned home! A big thanks to sweet G for making my thirty first birthday so special!
