Yesterday was Jessica’s birthday, and though we are saving the big festivities till Saturday (her graduation!!! Yes we will post on that too ;), we did celebrate a little bit that evening with opening presents, and…. A trip to our favorite, old-fashioned ice cream parlor!! And when I say old-fashioned, I mean old-fashioned! Right down to the dainty, eclectic metal serving bowls, marble tabletops & curly-cue chairs!
She’s been desiring to go here for her birthday ever since our first visit a few years ago, and now her little dream came true…. Vintage dressing up, Abbot and Costello watching in the car on the way there and back (yes, it is a bit of a drive…), and a little fashion shoot topped off the magical occasion 🙂
Here are some snap-shots we took with Mom’s iPhone whilst there…

| Dad’s sundae… Classic! |

| Mom’s nutty, chocolatey goodness! |
 |
| looooove Abbot & Costello!! This one we were watching was “Hold That Ghost!” |
these snaps I edited in the new BeautifulMess app!
Happy (late) Birthday, Jess! God bless you with 100, no- 200 more years on this earth!! 🙂

Lovely photos, ladies! It looks like such a fun place, and that ice cream is seriously making me drool right now!
I love Abbott and Costello as well–Hold that Ghost is one of my favorites!

Happy Birthday Jess!!! Seriously on Thursday I was thinking your birthday was coming up soon. I wanted to send you a message then but I lost your email address… Can you believe we’re all turning eighteen this year?!?!? so crazy.
Love you,

Happy birthday, Jess! What a yummy birthday outing. May is a fabulous month for a birthday (mine starts out the month, so I know whereof I speak ;). Love the vintage-inspired dress and wedges; well, all three of you are looking adorable in your retro ensembles and color-coordinated too. Delightful!
Oh so adorable! I loved this so much! Can I come next time? 🙂
Happy birthday, Jessica! I loved your chevron frock to pieces. And the way you all coordinate so well. Tres The Bomb!
