My birthday celebration 2016

You guys, life is so busy these days it's insane. The days are fast and they seem to be running into each other and by the time we take a breather the week is over. It also means that time is flying by which is a very good thing. This past weekend we celebrated my birthday with the family. We all went out for a nice brunch then came home for some cake. It was such a low key but super nice celebration.

My mom, brothers and hubby's parents joined us for the celebration. I love my family because they are always up to hanging out and any excuse is a good excuse. I also love that we live so close to each other that we can turn these mundane celebrations into a family event.

Our family out for brunch last Sunday, I absolutely love spending time with my people.

The boys behaved so well during brunch, I must say I was really impressed. I need to bring them out more often. I didn't take that many pictures inside the restaurant, the lighting was a bit off.

 These waffles were so delicious

 I just love this selfie of my brother J with Bean. Look at Bean mimicking my brother :).

After brunch we came back to our place, chilled for a bit then it was time to cut the cake. Hubby actually got cupcakes for me this year, he figured it would be easier for the kids. Isn't so funny how your priorities change once you have kids. The cupcakes were delicious and everybody loved them

We got a few pictures of course

 My kids were really into the group pictures at first because they were ready for some cupcakes :)

 And at this point they clearly gave up on pictures, hehehehehehe, it's hard to be the kid of a mamarazi

On my actual birthday, my mom brought over some balloons and they boys had a field day with them

 My Jbird super excited about his balloons

Tman and Jbird crack me up on a daily basis I tell you

I had such a great birthday celebration this year. I am already planning next year's celebration (I know, I am such a planner) and I am excited to say that we will hopefully be chilling on the beach somewhere for that birthday. I am one of those people that just loves to travel rather than getting gifts so anniversaries and birthdays for me are equal to trips somewhere around the globe :). We are taking the kids with us (because I want my kids there to celebrate with me of course) and that will probably be our first trip with all 4 kids. Bring it 2017, I am excited for what you have in store for us :).
