Not only did my boyfriend and my friends help me to celebrate a great birthday, but so did my family. The weekend of good food and good company continued on Sunday (my actual) birthday at my aunt’s house where both she and my mom helped to create a feast for brunch.

The feast included two quiches my mom made- one with just gueryere cheese and the other with cheese, roasted mushrooms, spinach, caramelized shallots, and bacon (!).  There was smoked salmon, tomatoes, red onions, and capers to accompany bagels that Pete and I picked up from Bagel on Damen.

My mom had stayed up late the night before baking a ton of breakfast pastries including three kinds of muffins (blueberry, lemon poppy seed, and banana chocolate chip) and I contributed croissants and tarts that I had made in the bakery.

To top everything off, my mom baked me my favorite- carrot cake! I am so thankful for everything my family, friends, and boyfriend did for me for my birthday weekend, they made me so happy!
