let's cook some lobster!


Ohh it is once again birthday time for JP, and we had a nice celebration! His day started out just fine with a birthday whoopie pie party at work during which he probably ingested enough sugar for the entire day at 10am.  I was busy making a sign and finishing up my presents and running down to the wharf to pick up my live present for him.  When he got home and I directed him to the large bag jammed into the fridge that was emitting a faint pinching sound, I think he might have had a few misgivings about the whole thing but he didn't back down!  He miight have yelled at me for taking pictures while he was super freaked out and trying to grab them with the pot holders on his hands, so instead I have one of him peering into the bag.

Ha, just take that expression and mentally add some potholders onto his hands and you can imagine how hilarious the scene was.




We finished off the night with my first homemade cheesecake (with finely chopped pecans as the main ingredient in the crust, yum!) and then drinks with Joe.  It was quite lovely!

birthday, birthday!

Lately life has been chaotic, and so it came as a bit of a surprise that it was already time to celebrate JP's birthday again! Can it really have been a whole year?! Apparently, so we made some plans to go camping and fishing with the pups for the weekend but our plans got snowed/rained out and we were forced to have a relaxing weekend at home instead! We are planning a makeup camping trip next weekend that hopefully comes to fruition. But before I get ahead of myself, here are some pictures from the weekend celebration.

As with last year, we started the day at our favorite breakfast joint. Tasty GF rice pancakes, bacon, and of course mimosas!

The sign this year is kind of hard to see in the pictures, but it's popping out of the mirror with pipecleaners...

And of course, what could be better than a super dorky card from your puppies and some fragrant flowers to light up the windowsill. Hopefully we will get to some camping this weekend!
