we celebrated a very special birthday last night. love this photo. love love love. but it kinda struck me how VERY different it is from that last big milestone birthday we celebrated for mike back in brooklyn...before kids...before lots of stuff, really...10 years ago seems like a lifetime away now
back then we had a HUGE surprise party with a ton of people (my parents even came up from philly)..we had a HUGE cannoli cake from my favorite Italian bakery in Little Italy that served 100...a HUGE, wildly expensive gift (a kyack)...it was a HUGE deal...
but this milestone birthday was quiet...just him & me & kelly, ryan & kate...a little homemade cake, a special homemade birthday dinner...the birthday song was punctuated with "cha...cha....cha!"...and a very special little homemade gift from Kelly (that i'm positive is worth about 40,000 kyacks to him)
funny how 10 years go by in the blink of an eye, but so much is so changes...
but geez....when i look at that picture up there...wow...life IS so good...how did i get so blessed?
happy friday!
xoxo

So very true. Happy birthday to your sweetheart...I am sure he's asking himself the same question about you. ;)

That really is a beautiful picture! It's awesome when the definition of happiness becomes small and simple. Happy birthday to Mike!
