Week ~ plus of Birthday Celebrations

My birthday this year started 4 days early when my good friend from Paris ~ now living in New York came for an over night visit with her hubby. V is also a fellow Sagittarius, her birthday is Dec. 5. After a wonderful home cooked meal consisting of Chateaubriand, sweet and roasted potatoes, Italian flat beans and lots of other tasty foods courtesy of Pusateri's and our functioning stove and oven.

we celebrated our birthdays with some bubbly V had brought for the occasion.




V (on the left) and I waiting for our glass of bubbly...

First gift I opened for my birthday was from one of my friend's little one.
I think those are shoes ... possibly the next Manolo designer in the making!!

And how special is the bag she picked..

Hubby out did himself this year ....


We celebrated with a few friends my birthday TODAY!! more pictures of cake and future celebrations this week to follow!!!

    Celia, I think I may be a little late in wishing you a happy birthday but I do it wholeheartedly. I hope you have a fabulous time and I'm really rather impressed by your cake!
    I shall miss my visits to you for the next couple of weeks but should Hubby leave me alone in a French McDonalds wifi cafe for a while I shall be bouncing over to see how you all are.
    My sincerest best wishes to you all (Dolce is included in that statement of course) for 2011 and thank you for your valuable friendship.
    Carol

    Buon Compleanno! I am so sorry I missed your special day... I have been in bed sick for the past four days. It looks and sounds like you are having a wonderful birthday with many special friends and gifts!

    I lift up my flute of prosecco to you Celia, an amazing woman, and wish you a life filled with many blessings.

    Hugs,
