Katie took this picture of Rosie and her momma (me).---------------------
We threw on some clothes and went out for our...
frugal luxury of coffee...
(Why does coffee always taste better when someone else makes it?)

Home again...
Happy Birthday Fun for Momma !

The girls had to guard the cupcakes from Zoey Kitty...
and the raffia!
and the raffia!
Katie drew this charming little caricature inside my special birthday card...
the girl is me...
the kitty is Zoey Kitty.
(She's looking for her coffee...)
These cupcakes were sooo good!
They took a simple devil's food cake mix and added chunks of chocolate...
to the batter before baking...
and iced them with a simple butter-cream frosting...
oh...my...goodness...they were yummy!!
They were so creative when decorating them!
The cupcakes in the forefront had a s'mores theme...
sprinkled with crushed graham crackers and garnished with snips of...
marshmallows and a chunk of chocolate.
Simple red sprinkles adorned the center cup cakes...
The last row was a paradoxical nod to a healthy attitude...
garnished with a dehydrated lemon slice...
(I had dehydrated a batch the day before and they are sooo good, really)
...and a chunk of dragon's fruit (really, that's what it's called).

It was the beginning of my very lovely and loving birthday day and week.
I am still celebrating as I write this!!

how delightful! Happy belated birthday. I always say my birthday continues until the well wishes have stopped, so maybe this will be blessing in a way that I missed it!
You and your daughter look so much alike!

Happy Happy belated birthday! I don't think there is a better waY to celebrate than the way you did with family!
Sorry I haven't gotten over here sooner to give you birthday wishes- I had an encounter with a rattlesnake and have been recooping- trying to figure out how to do some of my DIY projects from my chair which I am bannished to till at least the 17th when I go back ! Well I will at least get to get to get caught up with my blogging freinds' blogs!
