The Brothers Family

Julian's cake. I had so much fun making it and found a new favorite buttercream frosting recipe.  Anyone who knows me knows that this is an act of love for my child.  My niece and nephews are gluten free so these are gf cupcakes.  Ready to party! He wasn't a fan of being sung to. It actually made him cry.  Blowing out his candle! Happy Birthday Julian! Your birthday is the best day of the year for me every single year. I love you, Mama. XO

This little boy has a birthday coming up this weekend. My little guy is going to be 2 years old! He is vivacious and sweet and determined and adventurous. I love having a son and I am really enjoying watching him learn and grow and talk. He is such a gift to me. I'll post his 2 year old photos later this week. (part of his birthday party invitation that I made.)

I turned 31 on Tuesday and Dustin will be 28 tomorrow. It's so fun to have birthdays in the same week - it feels like we get to celebrate all week long. Dustin and I went out on a date last Saturday to celebrate together. We went and saw The Great Gatsby and then out to dinner at one of our favorite Irish Pubs. Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of when we flew to Ireland, so it was fun to celebrate Irish style as well.  It was so nice to spend the afternoon and evening together just the two of us. We've gotten to celebrate with family and friends this week.
