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!

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"

Happy Birthday Sweet Madison! I love, love, that cake! My favorite picture is of the four girls with Madison towering over her sisters! It is totally frame worthy! XOXO
there are those adorable, simple boxes of yours. her cake was amazing. perfect for her.
Such beautiful and fun girls.....and their parents are pretty cute as well.
Got the art course taken care of, thanks again.
Beautiful Pictures. Happy 17 birthday to your darling!!! I laughed right out loud at the pic of Marie Antoinette.
Happy Birthday to your sweet girl! Looks like so much fun! I always thought she was the tallest -- just the one that loves high heels! Sweet!

Your blog just makes me happy! Always look forward to the updates!
Paige, I just love you! Enough said! xoxo
Awww, what a sweet birthday. I absolutely love the cake...it is soooo pretty!! :) Love your pictures. :)
Happy Birthday Madison! So glad that your mom shares her life and in turn yours with us. I have a 5 year old daughter and love to see what she's done to raise such God-fearing, loving children.
And that picture of Dan and Emily is just perfect.
That cake is a thing of beauty and if I had any guts at all, I would consider making it for my daughter's 18th on the 13th. However, since I'm a coward, I'll copy a photo of it and take it to my baker.
Happy Birthday Madison girl.
On my last trip to ATL, I took pics of the bathroom inside JCT Kitchen- not weird at all! LOL
I love it so much!! I have to say that I pinned a photo of a cake very similar to that one for my AVa's upcoming birthday, and it's going to be more of a turquoise color- I hope I can make it as cute as that one!
I dream of a Tiffany's box. I was just talking to my man about that the other day. LOL That one is huge! It must have been something really good!
Looks like you always have so much fun together! The cake is gorgeous - to match the girl!
It's funny you mentioned the height b/c my first thought was that Savannah was smaller than the others. My younger daughter is taller than her big sister now!
Please do share what was in those boxes! Always love seeing your girlie's gifts. They have become my style icons!

I want some of that cake right now!!! Too precious!
Oh to be 17 again! What a perfect age :)
How special that you were all together for her bday <3
Oh, and I just have to say that I have that EXACT faucet in my Master Bath! I also have a glass bowl sink - altho mine is not frosted :)
XOX

First...Happy Birthday Madison!!! That cake is to die for :) I giggled at the pictures where she is taller and then shorter...to cute. Her eye are absolutely stunning! Glad you all had a great time celebrating such a sweet young lady.
Hi Paige, I enjoy lurking around your blog and keeping up with your beautiful family. I want to let you know about a half marathon that will be held in my hometown, Greenwood, MS(home of Viking Range Corp.) on March 31. Greenwood is a quaint little town rich in history and beauty. No beach, but we do have three rivers that meet up here!:)VIKINGHALFMARATHON.COM if you want to check us out. Enjoying Simple Thoughts, Sara Barnes, Greenwood, MS
Madison is sucy a pretty girl......what a wonderful birthday celebration....so what was in the tiffany box? (had to ask!!!!)
The cake was beautiful too!
I am still searching for our fall beach get way...found a map to help with the locations. Thanks again for your tips.
what a great birthday! The cake looks so pretty and I am sure it was delish!
Not weird at all about the faucet, so something I would do! :) Or,...maybe I am weird too. ha
take care

I hope a blogger as big as you ( fame, not size) reads your comments because I have a odd question. You seem to love cowboy boots. I am flying ( from CA) to Dallas for a conference and I don't think you can enter Texas without cowboy boots. I already have brown, gray and black boots (not cowboy) so I really want navy blue. In all your shopping, have you ever seen navy? Don't want pink or purple or turquoise. I just want navy and can't eve find them on- line.
What a beautiful cake!! Happy birthday to your sweet Madison!!
First, that cake is BEAUTIFUL!! Second....LOVE sushi. Sounds like a perfect way to celebrate a special day. Happy Happy Birthday, Miss Madison!!
Art and Sand-- I found these... http://www.pintoranch.com/boots/ladies/other-leathers/old-gringo-nevada-navy-boots-2.html
We're in the middle of Houston rodeo time so I'm sure we have some in Houston! I would recommend Cavender's if you wait until you get to Texas. http://www.cavenders.com/dept.asp?cat=8&dept_id=25
