Joseph's Birthday Celebrations

Joseph turned 26 last week.  I am not sure how we have gone from cute little 22 year olds to this but it has happened.  We celebrated all weekend for the big day.

We started the birthday celebrations by going to a new restaurant that had opened in the Italian market called Monsu.  It was SO delicious.  We went with a group of friends from the law school, so there was good food and good company.  A winning combination.

On the day of official day of Josephs birth we started the day off with birthday breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls, made by yours truly.

Then we had birthday dinner and present opening galore. I managed to completely surprise Joseph with his presents.  First I had our doorman hide all of the packages that I ordered online so that Joseph seriously thought that I hadn't gotten him anything.  Then I switched up the packaging so that he couldn't guess what they were.  Joseph is a surprisingly good present guesser.  Switching the packaging worked so well that he was surprised with each present.  My big present for Joseph was his first pair of RayBans (which he has been begging me for).  I love being able to surprise Joseph since he is much more perceptive than the average human.

Since we had been eating a lot of junk all week, Joseph begged me not to make a cake and suggested that we just have smoothies for birthday treats instead.  So we had birthday smoothies, so yummy.
