Birthday Bash

I celebrated my 29th birthday earlier this month. My husband did a wonderful job creating a special day for me. He first surprised me with breakfast from Chick-Fil-A! I love their Cinnamon Clusters. I brought out my Rosanna "Birthday" plates, just for the occasion. Eating breakfast or dessert on these plates will become a Price family tradition.



During breakfast he presented me with a gift. I was surprised to see how creative he got with the gift wrapping. He wrapped the package in materials he had at work. The box was covered in brown package paper, and the bow was created from the rim of a decorative paper plate! I was quite impressed.



Inside the box I found Bvlgari White Tea soap and shampoo. The same soap we swooned over when we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton ten months ago. It smells a little manly, but I love the fresh and clean scent.






For my birthday dinner we headed to Carlos. Definitely suited for special occasions, Carlos has been voted the Best Restaurant in Roanoke many times by Roanoker magazine. Carlos is so wonderful, I could do an entirely separate post on it! The restaurant is situated on top of a steep hill with excellent views of the surrounding mountains.







I have to say the whole day was wonderful, and I thank all my friends and family for remembering me with cards and facebook shout outs. And mostly my husband for making me the most important priority of his day. He really knows how to make a girl feel special!

  1. Happy (belated) birthday! It sounds like yours was low-key, sentimental and filled with great food and company - those are always the best kinds of birthdays.

    That raspberry (or whatever flavor it was) flower looks so cute with that decadent cake.

    P.S. Those plates! <3

  2. Thanks for the birthday wishes! It WAS a fabulous day. The raspberry was actually in the chocolate cake as well! And I don't know if I have the words to describe how delicious it was. I have been looking every where for more birthday plates. I need another set of 4!
