A Birthday Celebration

Let's go back a year from now, May 12, 2013.  It was Holly's birthday party, and little did we know what our friendship would become just a short year later.  I live with my sister, Michelle and Holly is her sister-in-law (Michelle's husband's brother's wife..phew, try and say that ten times fast).  We had all never hung out that much before, (and now that I think about it, I have no idea why) but I couldn't imagine my life any other way.  A year later, with a book club under out belts and a baby on the way, I can't wait to see what the next fifty years holds for us.

This year was extra exciting because it was the first year we were all able to celebrate our birthdays together as Yayas (yes, that is what we call ourselves) and we like to celebrate in style, obviously.  We decided to each have a Birthday Book Club Celebration for each of us where we all did our favourite things, eat cookies and drink tea.


Last week Holly turned the big 25, and with baby number three on the way, it was hard to not make it special and spoil the mother to be (She's due next month y'all!).  We had tea, cup cakes, cake pops and sparkling water in lieu of champagne and talked about what the next year holds for these Yayas.  With a baby on the way, I expect nothing less than happiness and excitement for year number two of Yayas.


 Here's to another year!
