cake & sushi

 friday we celebrated madison turning 17!

being a lover of all things pink & feminine

& somewhat over the top,

i knew she'd love this ombre delicious birthday cake!

( thank you my sweet things~~  it was perfect!!)

 

 

after dan's mom passed away, we were cleaning out their attic

& stumbled upon a large, empty Tiffany's box. 

how i wish i knew what she had , that size , from Tiffany & co.!

i warned madi that i had not splurged but had a "little" something in there, not from tiffanys.

plus it looked so pretty beside the cake :)

we usually cook something big at home or head out to eat

depending on what the girls choose.

since dan & i were leaving bright and early on our road trip

we decided to go out. 

savannah had eaten at Park Tavern ( in midtown beside piedmont park) & loved it,
so we decided to head intown for a fun outdoor meal.
huge storm clouds were looming
& a tornado warning made it for quite an exciting drive & evening!
 

 

the above images are so funny.

madi is shorter than her sisters but they had on flats

& she had on crazy high wedges, so she looks so tall!

while the next pic was taken with her standing on the down side of a hill, barefoot with emi not barefoot,

it's a little closer to reality.

 

 the bookends

 

for my local friends, Park Tavern is going through a little renovation

so i'd call before making reservations

but the ambiance is very fun & looks over Piedmont Park

we ate sushi,

& i took photos in the empty bathroom

because i'm easily impressed by faucets 

& i'm basically a wierdo

 

happy birthday sweet girl

we sure do love you!

"When I stand before Your throne
Dressed in glory not my own
What a joy I'll sing of on that day
No more tears or broken dreams
Forgotten is the minor key
Everything as it was meant to be"
