Sisters and Birthday

We love having a house full of girls!
I am the oldest of 3 girls.
My sisters and I are very close--best friends.
It is so fun for me to see my girls build
the same bond that I have with my sisters.
Love it.

Ava and Ella
best friends-little roommates-cute sisters
Last week, my sisters and my mom came to Denver for a shopping trip.
They were here for 4 days and we shopped 'til we dropped...seriously!
The weekend was a success--new clothes, purses, accessories, shoes...FOOD.
We have adventurous palates, so we set out to try unique dishes, flavors, and treats.
We scoured the farmer's markets and dined in fabulous restaurants.
My favorite was the Israeli couscous (topped with roasted pistachios)
at White Chocolate Grill--DELISH--can't wait to go back!

Kambria, Mom, Shilo and I
out for sushi at Happy Sumo---SO fun.
It was great to have my family here so close to my birthday.
Sad to see them go, but fun to have a birthday to celebrate.
Brad and the girls made my birthday so perfect.
I was excited to get a new dining table
and a fun new cake stand to add to my collection.
Unfortunately, I was very sick for a few days
and had to take a rain check on birthday cake.
So, we are having a red velvet this weekend...
can't skip birthday cake, it only comes once a year. :-)

Olivia's 7th Birthday

Olivia celebrated her 7th birthday!
She is a sweetheart---so darling. We love her so much!
Olivia wanted a late night birthday party.
We invited 10 of her good friends to a "night owl" party.
We celebrated with flashlight games,
sledding in our backyard and a lot of chocolate.
Olivia loves chocolate--she is related to me. :-)
We had a chocolate fountain,
hot chocolate and chocolate cake. YUM
It was so much fun.

She was so excited to get Ruthie (Kit Kittredge's best friend)
from our family and Kit's summer dress from Grandma.
So cute-love her!
