Sending Birthday Wishes!!

Not only is today Groundhog day but it is also my little (she loves when I say that!) sisters Birthday!! Unfortunately she does not live in the same state as the rest of the family so I thought I might take this post and send her some virtual presents like....

a beautiful bouquet full of orange flowers, our "family color"

a chance to relive her wedding this past fall, the most perfect day

some quiet time in the beautiful Boston Public Library with a few of her favorite classics (she is a HS English teacher...you know the cool class you always wanted to be in, that's her!)

mostly I wish I could give her a laid back Sunday Italian Dinner on the deck with the entire family

and the one thing I know she would love most are my Mom's Marble Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting!
Happy Bday Amy, hope this is one fantastic year for you!
