I knew there was something up his sleeve for the weekend, but didn't anticipate such a fun night with lots of surprises! Wesley invited several of our friends from out of town, including teacher friends I never to see ( :) !!), and reserved 12 seats for us at a beautiful sushi restaurant in Morgantown, "Dragonfly." If that wasn't enough, they brought out a gorgeous Blizzard cake (Strawberry Cheesecake, of course), which had a huge FIREWORK on it! Needless to say, all eyes turned to our table as my friends and family shouted out the birthday song, while I sat stunned in front of a huge sparkler threatening to burn my face lol! I did have a little laugh, though, when one of my best friends thought the cheesecake bites on the cake were croutons...hehehe It's good to giggle every now and then (at someone else's expense)... :)
We had a fun night out downtown Morgantown! It was great to have everyone in one place :) My husband also surprised me with a couple b-day gifts - I have to say, he did a good job hiding them this time! I think he was tired of my $10 satchel purse that I carry around all the time - because in my birthday box was a cute Coach satchel :) Beautiful & very thoughtful (as I could never fit anything in my smaller satchel I carried around) - along with a LONG pan for our stove! We've been looking everywhere to find a pan to fit our middle burner. Here it is!! (OF COURSE, I made pancakes on it the first chance I got!)
Another cute gift from a friend, which I will definitely have to copy was "Cookie Mix in a Jar!" Attached with a recipe, all the ingredients are artfully layered in a mason jar - It looked like when we used to do those sand art jars when we were little. So cute, and definitely an idea to remember :) I've seen people do it with all types of dessert options, such as brownies, etc.
