In a stretch of 3 weeks the Misra family gets to celebrate MY birthday (4/21), Rup's birthday (5/5), AND Bella's birthday (5/9) - thats our whole family! I'm not really complaining about nonstop birthday celebrations though.
My birthday week started out with a romantic dinner cruise on Lake Norman with my hubby <3
The next day my best friend Ashley from pharmacy school and her boyfriend Stephen came down to Charlotte for the weekend from VA Beach to celebrate my birthday with me! It was soooo good to see her and meet her boyfriend. We took them to Cantina 1511 - our favorite Mexican restaurant in Charlotte which I know I've mentioned before already. Cheers to good friends!
The next day we had a 7 hour, 3 winery tour, complete with champagne breakfast and picnic bbq lunch. Here we all are waiting on the van.
Although, we had already been to Dobbins Creek Vineyards before, we still enjoyed it :)

And the whole group!
Next stop was Elkins Creek Winery...
And the last stop was Shadow Springs, my favorite of the three!
We even broke out into the wobble at the winery!
That night Rup had arranged for a group birthday dinner for me. I love my husband for 328735678274124821482765786 reasons but this is just an example of one of them ;) My birthday cake was a large cookie cake with pink and purple shoes on them!
Sunday morning on my actual birthday, we headed to Vivace in uptown for an amazing mimosa brunch! Cheers to being 27!
I am so grateful for good friends!
No birthday of mine is complete without margaritas or sangria so of course we headed to On the Boarder after brunch and took down a couple pitchers of margaritas, yum!
Lastly, to end my birthday week Rup took me out to a restaurant I've been wanting to try for almost a year! Bentley's on 27 is a restaurant on the top floor of one of the city buildings. The views are beautiful, the atmosphere is romantic, the service is perfect. Most importantly for me however, I would not want any other company than the company I had <3
About a week went by and we were ready to start making a week out of Rup's 30th birthday!!!! He was not thrilled about entering his thirties AT ALL so I tried to make things as fun and special for him as I could. We traveled to Texas for his 30th birthday which was fun in and of itself but thanks to Raj we were able to score some awesome row 1 seats at the Tigers vs. Astros game in Houston so I surprised him with those tickets!
The next night we started the celebrations off at Gloria's with delicious sangria and amazing food, pretty appropriate for a Cinco de Mayo birthday.
No birthday is complete without cupcakes - more importantly Sprinkles cupcakes!!! The very first cupcakery owned and started by Candice Nelson from Cupcake Wars.
Happy 30th Birthday to my man :)
The following week after we had returned from Texas we celebrated in Charlotte with our local friends at a local hibachi restaurant. Rup got to wear the special birthday hat they give all birthday guests :)
We had to get cupcakes from Polka Dot Bakery of course :)
So excited to celebrate many more birthdays with my hubby!
Last but not least, our final family member Bella turned ONE! It has been so amazing to see her grow from day 1. We have loved every moment with her and would be lost without her!
For her birthday, her boyfriend Stitches took her out to Canine Cafe and bought her a birthday cake, it was so sweet.
They shared the cake and some treats and had a grand old time.
Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet baby girl :)
