This is the tree that fell and pulled down the power lines in our back yard, and broke the gutter on our sunroom. What a blessing that that was the extent of our damage!!!
Friday we headed to The Resort (my parents/grandparents house) for some electricity and birthday celebration! My sister is an art teacher at a middle school, so we went and ate lunch with her and visited her classroom! I got the ever-famous Friday Pizza in the lunch line!
Friday night, Hubby took me out on a surprise birthday date! He took me to dinner at Carrabba's, strolled through Arhaus furniture store, went ice skating (I've been trying to go with him for the past 6 1/2 years!) and went to see New In Town with my sis and her husband. best birthday date ever!!!
And finally, my sister has started extending her artistic skills into cake decorating, so she made me this cake for my birthday. Any idea what it looks like? THE PINK POTPOURRI!!!
Well, its good to be back to the blogging world. I look forward to catching up with all of you!!!

You poor thing. Glad your electricity is working again.
Happy Birthday! Your sister did make you a beautiful cake. I saw some other ones she made on her blog and she makes me want to go to a cake decorating class.
Yikes that weather sure looks scary!!
Cute pictures!
Yeah for warmth! You had an exciting birthday week! Loved having you all here and playing so many games. The cake looked and was fabulous...only 1 piece left...Look out! There may be a ruckous in the kitchen later on!
Happy for you to have things back to normal. We enjoyed our extra time with the fez! God Bless, Love, mom oxoxoxo
I'm glad you're power is back on after all that ice! Those pictures are crazy!
I still remember friday pizza lunch at school - call me crazy, but I kind of miss cafeteria food.
And your cake is gorgeous too! Glad you had a great birthday!

3. I AM SO EXCITED - I never win ANYTHING! What should I do, email you maybe? Thank you so so much! :)
Yay for getting your power back! That sounds about like what we experienced last year. How did you like New in Town? I've been wanting to see it.
we had so much fun with you guys!!! i'm glad we got to surprise you at the theater! the movie was SO good! we're having a "girl's nite" here on friday and are going to see He's Just Not That Into You! :D should be fun. i'm going to try to go a little early, though, as to not get ambushed by my "posse" again :/ ho hum!
That cake is gorgeous!!! I love it. Happy late birthday!
Happy Birthday. Your cake is to die for. So cute.
I'm so glad that fallen tree didn't do more damage, although no power for an extended period is NOT good! Sledding is best when there is someone with 4 wheel drive to take you to the top of the hill. :)
Wow that was bad glad your power is back on! Beautiful cake!
Happy belated Birthday!
I just found your blog through Pink Pearls & Muddy Sneakers - you have a new follower. Your sister is very artistic - I loved the cake! Now my brain is set on Strawberry cake - since that is what it looks like.
My in-laws are stuck in the storm that just came through KY. I hope you're staying warm!
Ha, love the cake!
Happy late birthday, Allie! Wow, y'all have had some year! First the wind damage, now an ice storm! I'm glad you at least have power now.
Love that cake!
Happy belated Birthday. Sorry about your power and gutter. The ice pictures are really pretty, (even with the destruction in them.)
28 really isn't too bad. Wait till it's you 37th and you try that. Ughhhh!
Happy Birthday!
What an awesome cake; she did such a great job...it looks yummy too!
