Embrace the Camera: My B-Day!

It's been a while since I've embraced the camera. I figured since I had some pictures of myself from my birthday dinner last night, I would pick it up again! My mom came to town on Tuesday to celebrate me and Madelyn's birthdays! Last night, we went to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant for dinner! I had been there once before with a couple of friends and the food was really good, and it's fun. I wanted to take the kids because last time we were there they danced and had a guy breathing fire, but they didn't do it last night.

We ordered the hummus sampler, which was really good...

And we ordered the flaming saganaki which was fun for the kids.

Me and Brody Man- his new thing is taking pictures with his eyes closed.

Then when we got home, we had cupcakes! Julie found an awesome recipe on Pinterest...chocolate chip cookie and brownie cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting...they were amazing!

Everyone sang, but there were no candles...I guess they worried we'd burn down the house!

The sweetest thing was having 2 little voices to sing along.

This little lady loved the frosting!

My favorite part of the day was Madelyn telling me "Happy Mommy" all day. She couldn't remember to fit the birthday in there, but that's ok...it was so sweet! Her birthday is up next! Can't believe she's already 2 years old!

I'm linking up with Emily this week!

And...in case you missed it, I updated my 30 before 30 list yesterday! See how I'm doing!
