Lots to celebrate at Ashley Furniture this week!

My son turned 21 this week and the four of us were able to spend the afternoon/evening in Chicago to celebrate this momentous occasion. 

Though I snap photos every week for the blog I find I don’t take pictures very often at other times and decided I wanted to document the day starting with the train ride in and ending with dinner which included a margarita for the newly 21-year old!

Every photo – with the exception of one or two – looks something like this:

Jack's 21st birthday 03-19-12 013

My big-eyed girl is always willing to cooperate but Jack makes a weird face almost every time.

Don’t believe me?  Take a look:

I’d probably never turn one of the photos of Jack on his birthday into an oil painting to hang over my fireplace – but I’d certainly frame a 5 x 7 for my desk and know it would make me smile every time I looked at it ‘cause that goofy faced kid is my beloved son and I wouldn’t change a thing about him!  Then again…

May all your wishes come true dear reader!
