Birthsgiving Snapshots

My annual birthday selfie! Plus, I had curled my hair and put on actual makeup (we’re talking foundation and eye makeup, people!) so I had to take a cute selfie for the occasion.

Snuggles with Lucy before Thanksgiving dinner. She’s the best little snuggler.

Thanksgiving dinner! My stepdad made this whole meal (aside from the pumpkin bread, which my mom made), and it was all so delicious. He did an amazing job!

I requested cupcakes for my birthday. Mmm!

We had the cutest little puppy at Thanksgiving! Cici was the best little girl (she doesn’t bother us when we’re sitting at the table eating, which is WILD) and I am just so in love with this sweetie.

I had a very relaxing evening. I took a short nap when I came home from my mom’s house, spent a lot of time reading, watched a disappointing football game (stupid Dolphins), and snuggled some cute girls.

    Your birthday selfie is everything. You can really see what a beautiful color your eyes are in that photo, and yeah, what Nicole said about the BOLD RED LIP.

    I’m glad you had a lovely Birthday/Thanksgiving! I’m going to guess that that dog doesn’t get a lot of food by begging, so hasn’t learned that trick. Maybe our NEXT dog we can teach to not beg (mostly by it not working), Mulder was a pro and had us wrapped around his dainty paws..

      Thank you! You guys are great for my self-esteem, haha.

      I was at my brother’s house yesterday and was eating lunch, and she FELL ASLEEP underneath me. While I had food in my hands! I was amazed. I hope she doesn’t become a begger. That would make her a wonder dog, if so!

    Happiest birthdays again. You look radiant. And not just the make up but your eyes sparkle.
    Sounds like a lovely day.

    You looked especially amazing on your birthday! I love the bold lip!! It sounded like the absolute best day! I am impressed that Cici was not begging for food! My brother’s lab is quite old, I think 12-14, and she was walking around heavily breathing because the smell of food was driving her crazy!! She was not begging or bothering people but was really hoping you’d drop something!

    Happy Birthday/Thanksgiving! I kind of feel like you got gypped this year- I think you deserve a full birthday that’s not combined with another holiday. But, this does sound like a fun day! OTHER THAN THE DOLPHINS GAME. Somehow that game was just depressing from start to finish. Oh well- you had your cats to cheer you up

    Happy birthday and Thanksgiving! It looks like you had a wonderful day, and you look so pretty all fixed up! Your eyes are so gorgeous! I haven’t worn makeup in so long, but I do wear lipstick and love a bold lip! Your dinner and cupcake look delicious. Wishing you many more wonderful birthdays!
