My 22nd Birthday

When you turn 22, you start to lose coolness. Up to now, every birthday was one step towards cool-dom. Heck, I could even shop at Forever 21 yesterday and feel righteous.

Joel made it up with a pretty adorable birthday.




He knows I am a pancake fiend. Last year for Christmas he got me a pancake pen. These let you draw the batter into whatever shapes you want. These were the most heartwarming and delicious pancakes ever!








He also brought home a bouquet of one of my favorite flowers. Neither of us can remember the name of them. Joel keeps a close up photo of them on his iPhone and shows it to the florist whenever he needs them. It works for us.

The tablecloth pictured was a beautiful birthday present from his mother, Lori.






And, of course, we had a delicious dinner with recipes from The Pioneer Woman.
