Celebrating Joan

October is the month of birthdays, that is for sure. Between numerous friends' and family members' birthdays (and mine of course!), it's an exciting month. And Friday wasn't an exception --- we got together with Corey's mom, Joan, his dad, and Consuelo (our dear family friend) to celebrate Joan's birthday.

It began with dinner at Picolino's, where we hadn't been in forever. Dinner was delicious and the company was fabulous as usual.

Dinner was followed by presents, a very beautiful rendition of the 'Happy Birthday' song (insert sarcasm here --- I think Roxy may have left the room at this point) and dessert at our place. We dug into chocolate cupcakes with caramel frosting per the birthday girl's request - yum!

Happy Birthday, Joan! You're the best mother-in-law I could have ever hoped for and I'm so glad we were able to share your special day with you. I'm a few days late posting this, but nonetheless, we had a wonderful time celebrating with you and wish you a fabulous year ahead.
