As I said yesterday, I have been on quite the Mumford & Sons kick. This actually happens quite frequently. I just love them. I missed them in concert last year which I was really bummed about, but hopefully I will catch them next time!
I also mentioned that yesterday was my dad's birthday! Whoo for birthdays! Here are some photos of the celebration.
For some reason our family has this fascination with pulling pranks on each other, especially when it comes to opening presents. Here is my dad opening the TAG to his actual gift. Haha
The actual gift.
Our family loves technology.
It was a fun day spending time with family, and we topped it all of with a chocolate eclair "cake." Yum! So happy birthday to the best dad out there! Like for real, I am not even joking.
So a lot of blogs that I follow have started doing a 52 week portrait project with their kiddies. You know, where they take a picture of their kids once a week for an entire year! Well I really wanted to be a part of it, but I do not have any children... dilemma? Absolutely not. I have decided instead I am going to do a weekly self portrait! Yay!
Here is my self portrait for this week. Super random, but I just had to hurry and snap it. Hopefully I will get a little more creative each week. I know I am a week late, but I don't think that matters. To tell you the truth I really wanted to do this because I want to see the evolution of my hair for a year. Should be interesting.
I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday!
great photos. looks like things are going great :)
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteMmm. I love it when people do desserts other than cake on birthdays!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your dad!
Someone in our family is always wanting something different. My brother had a donut "cake" last year for his birthday. It was AMAZING! haha
DeleteUM HELLO SHELBY... Can I be your best friend? Like, best friend enough that I can come over to your house and partake in your eclaire cake eating festivities? IT JUST LOOKS LIKE THE BEST THING EVER. I mean... my taste buds are crying. Also, how is it that you just happened to link my all time favorite favorite favorite Mumford and Sons song ever!? That being said, go listen to the Taylor Swift White Blank Page cover. It's good. I promise!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Oh my goodness Maggey... of course you can! Like for real!
DeleteAnd isn't it the best?! I know that Mumford & Sons can get a little repetitive, but I just love love them!
This Taylor Swift cover that I am currently listening to.. OMG why is she just perfect?! Is there anything she can't do? Questions that haunt me.
p.s- Just watched your vlog... you are seriously my favorite human right now. Like close close second to Matthew Gray Gubler which is REALLY saying something!
hahaha i LOVE your family- that birthday cake is amazing. and i laughed out loud at how you guys pull pranks on each other over presents- especially him taking out the tag. if i did that my mom would probably just blink at me blankly haha. a happy birthday to your pops!
ReplyDeletehaha! it is always the men in the family doing this too each other. My brothers can't give a present to anyone now without tricking them. The most recent was my brother gave my dad an itunes card for Christmas. He put it in this HUGE box, and put one of my grandpa's fishing boots inside it. It was hilarious!
DeleteThat's one of my favourite Mumford songs. <3

It really is so fantastic. I really like them.
DeleteHappy birthday to your dad! I literally laughed out loud when I saw his reaction to the tag present. What a fun idea to have a pile of eclairs instead of a cake!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty funny! haha You think after all the pranks we have pulled on each other he would have caught on faster!
