a birthday affair

My madge {also known as mom} turned another year younger.  She's a cute little mommy and one of my best friends. She gets to listen to me for an hour 

every.

single.

day.

 as I drive home from work. That's true mommy-dedication.

So on the way home yesterday I asked her what decade had been her favorite.

To my pleasant surprise, she said her fifties{her current decade}.

this decade has been filled with

grandbabies

wedding

a tender heart

changed husband

beautiful marriage

a loving God

strength

renewal

peace

makes me excited for the adventure ahead of Mike and I

Mike and I went home to celebrate her birthday a little early over the weekend.  We celebrated with nothing other than wine and delicious treats.

 a trip to the local vineyard {also where we had our rehearsal dinner!} Mike's rents met up with us too.

--check out our matching fingernails.. not planned--

Wine and cheese followed by a raclette dinner. A raclette is the perfect hang out and eat tool for intimate settings. It encourages lots of wine drinking, tons of creative cooking and plenty of good conversation. 

It's not a birthday without cake -- made by Betty Crocker {Mike's mom} herself. 

Happy birthday to the sweetest mom around. Loves.
