My Birthday Weekend - 2015

Turning 31 was great! I had such a great time celebrating ME with family and friends. :)

Seriously though, I felt extra special and loved this year.

 

Cecil and our friends surprised me with a mid-week birthday dinner. It was just the low key kind of celebration that this new mom didn't know she wanted.

 

Our group is growing! Connor was in his seat so he didn't make the group picture, but he was there. :)

 

Here he is with Aunt B.

 

Cecil sent birthday flowers to my work. This, of course, made me extremely happy. :)

 

Friday, the entire Luttrell gang got together for a hibachi dinner in Bedford. (I guess this was my b-day outfit this year....haha)

These are my best boys. And yes, they are crazy. Noah licked the cake and then decided he didn't want a slice.

 

This is one of my top favorite pictures of the entire year. Love our growing family!!

Saturday (my actual birthday) morning we met Mom, Dad, and the boys for a walk at the park. (didn't get pics. ooops)

 

Saturday evening was Carlyn's bachelorette party. It was overnight and I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about leaving Connor for very long, but ultimately I decided to just go to Drybar, lingerie shower, and dinner. I skipped the show and hotel stay. It was my first night out away from Connor and I didn't feel right being gone too long.

I have never been to DryBar before and I loved it! Seriously it is such a treat and I'm looking forward to one opening up closer to us. This might be my new pedicure. (i.e. I skip pedicures and do this instead) I felt totally pampered.

 

 

 

It really did make me feel like a million bucks! Sometimes it is super fun to be a girl.

 

 

We went to the hotel and everyone got ready while I pumped. #momlife

We had Carlyn's lingerie shower and her sister's did a great job!! Look how cute these little cookies are!! I wish I had gotten more pictures because they decorated so cute!

They even got me a special birthday cookie, which was so thoughtful. Carlyn brought a special birthday candle that lights up, spins, and sparks just for me. :)

 

We went to Tillman's Roadhouse for dinner which I loved. This place is special to me. Cecil and I happened upon it and had our one year anniversary dinner here while we were dating and then had our Rehearsal Dinner at the Fort Worth location.

 

Carlyn is such a great friend and fun girl. I had a great time and loved getting to know her sisters and friends better.

 

Thanks for the IG shoutout Leslie!

 

Sunday Mom, Dad, Leslie, Noah, Zay, Cecil, Connor, and I went to the Zoo (all dressed in blue). :)

 

 

 

I know I've used a lot of smiley faces this post, but I just felt so loved and thankful to spend a full weekend with the people I love the most. :) :) #allthehearteyes
