Celebrating the birthday girls.

My Mom turned 82 on May 31st and Sarah turned 21 on June 4th.  We had our family celebration with lunch at Village Tavern and met my uncle and Sarah's boyfriend, Joe there.  I have no pictures from lunch itself but afterwards  we came home and had birthday cake (which I made!) and presents.  Uncle David and Joe weren't able to come back for dessert so sadly, no pictures of them.  

I have no pictures of the cake.  I think because I was filming us singing happy birthday and never actually took a picture!  Oh well.  

The weekend after we celebrated at home, Sarah had a birthday party at school with her friends and then they went out to the bars.  Here's a few pictures she sent me from that.

The basement minus Grace who's working in Wisconsin this summer!

Happy birthday, Mom and Sarah!

Twenty-one is...

My sweet Sarah Donna turned 21 on June 4th!  And if you will recall, when the kids were little, all the way up to when they turned 18, I would do a blog post for their birthdays.  When Peter turned 21, I reinstated that, so I thought I should do the same for my favorite girl.

Twenty-one is...

considerate
smart
compassionate
driven
confident 

beautiful (on the inside and out)

hardworking

funny

conscientious

caring

responsible

thoughtful

one of my favorite people

 

Twenty-one loves to...

 

hang out with her boyfriend, Joe

play with cats (even though she's allergic)

watch Modern Family (even though she's seen the whole series multiple times)

sing Broadway show tunes (and loves to see Broadway plays)

watch the Philadelphia Phillies (even though we are a Red Sox family, we will keep her)

beat her friends and family in the New York Times Mini

try new recipes

run

hang out with her sorority sisters

sleep in 

travel

binge watch shows with her bestie

clean (she's a bit of a germaphobe)

drink coffee (Starbucks is still her favorite)

work(this girl likes money and isn't afraid to pick up a shift)

Oh how I love my sweet twenty-one!

Happy birthday, Sarah!
