Final Birthdays and Valentines at Home 2013

A good friend of mine and I

celebrate our birthdays a little over a month apart.

We're both turning 39 this year.

It's the final birthday we're having.

Ever.

Hers was this past weekend,

so Ryan and I joined several of our couple friends for her birthday festivities.

Everyone went to dinner at Bob's first,

and then to The Blue Martini for drinks.

Although it's not Ryan's and my scene,

we had a great time.

 

The birthday girl is in the middle.

 It's always a good time with this handsome man!

 

Besides my birthday coming up,

one of my very favorite holidays is quickly approaching.

Valentine's Day!

Yep.

Love month has already started here in our house.

Check it out.

 

The cross stitch I made a couple of years ago

and the wine bottle from our wedding

 A little Valentines love everywhere

 

 I went a little overboard with the lamps in the family room.

I can't help myself.

 

The mantle looking a tad different from last year.

 The Teenager and I were running errands the other day and found this.

Perfect for Love Month.

 I made this banner the other day.

I love all the different shades of red.

I'm trying to convince the dogs this monkey is not their toy.

 Made this the other day too.

 Oh, and I made this pillow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Made this wreath with the intentions of putting it on the front door,

but it looked too small.

So, I added ribbon and felt roses to the "S" that we've had forever.

What do you think?!

I love Valentine's Day.

Even bought this shirt to wear to school/work on the big day next month.

We're supposed to wear red on Valentine's Day.

Perfect.

Works for me!

Happy Love Month!
