My Tuscan Birthday

This post is only a month and 4 days late!!!

 Knowing how much I adore the Los Pinos Winery in Pittsburg, my perfect husband booked a Tuscan Cottage for us to stay in on my birthday!  

I was so surprised!!!

This is what I saw when we walked in....

The sound of piano jazz filled the air, carrying me to a different world as I explored this heavenly birthday abode.

Everything was PERFECT!

Even this guy!

The only thing that could make this night sweeter

was to have a couple friends join us....  

Connor Redfearn and his beautiful wife Katherine arrived at about 6:30pm.

I felt like a celebrity arriving in an upscale, posh restaurant....

There was standing room only, except for....

OUR RESERVED TABLE!!!!!!!!!

Where I ate THIS!

And in the morning, I gazed out the window and saw...

Gorgeous grapes for miles! 

Thanks to our friends, we got a picture TOGETHER!  (A rare occurrence.)

And one of the Birthday Girl...

The night before my birthday, the kids bought me flowers!  One of my favorite things to do is to arrange them myself.

The result...

AND

In my new vase from my In-laws and younger brother and sister.  I love it!!!

The evidence of my fun...

In addition to all this fun, I had many wine-related gifts from family.

(I guess there was a "theme" this year.)  

My in-laws sent me 12 bottles!!!  

This was by far THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!
