We spent my birthday weekend at our family’s beach house in Corolla, NC. Blake planned the whole weekend with our friends and it was such a perfect weekend at the house. When we arrived, everything was completely covered in snow and we had to dig around the front yard to find the water shut-off access panel so we could turn it back on. Ugh. But then it was smooth sailing after that!
Shadow loved running up and down the deserted beach, chasing his ball, and running away from the waves.
He looks so small on the walkway to the beach but we know we’ll get another shot like this sometime in the future with full-grown Shadow.
In addition to the party planning that Blake did, he also had Mocktail recipes for the preggers girls! We enjoyed non-alcoholic mojitos called “nojitos” and a delicious orange-lime concoction called the “Orange Lime Relaxer”. Some of the non-pregnant girls even asked for Blake to make one for them! One of my friends Sarah also brought sparkling Chardonnay grape juice so we had our own “wine”. We felt so well taken care of.
The birthday party portion of the night was a “Revenge of the Nerds” theme party and everyone got into their costumes! We saw oversized black-rimmed classes, suspenders, pigtails, pocket-protectors, and Ashley even wore her retainer! It was a blast and of course, Blake also made dinner for the whole gang. Yum!
I love these photos of good times with your friends. You are so blessed my daughter.
