I love birthdays.
Especially mine.
I just like having a day all about celebrating me.
This year my birthday was pretty much a three day celebration.
Which I did not mind at all.
On Thursday the other girls from the group came over to watch Bachelor Pad and surprised me with a cake.
I am so grateful to them for not singing happy birthday and just letting me make my wish and blow out the candles.
I think getting sung to is kind of awkward.
Anyways, we all enjoyed our cake while watching our show.
The night could not have been better.
Then around midnight (the start of my actual birthday) I was given a sweet hug and a kiss by my boy.
I love that.
That next morning we ate breakfast and then Michael told me he was taking one of his personal days so that he could spend time with me.
He played with Olivia, cleaned up, and changed a couple poopy diapers.
We were able to spend time with each other and cuddle during Olivia's nap and then the second she woke up we headed to Tutti Frutti.
Which as you know is my favorite.
We then went grocery shopping to pick up a bunch of food for my family's visit.
After Olivia was in bed for the night Michael and I finished off my birthday toasting sparkling cider, playing uno and watching 13 going on 30.
Oh and I got a very nice massage.
It was a perfect day.
On
Sunday since my family was here I made a yummy birthday dinner consisting of homemade rolls,
creamy bacon carbonara, and of course a homemade chocolate cake.
Here are a few pictures.
The cute cake the girls brought.
Blowing out my candles.
Notice how I am holding my hair back.
That is because I've experienced lighting my hair on fire due to my hair hovering over a candle.
I will never make that mistake again.

My family celebrating.
It was hard, but I blew out every single candle in one breath.
I'm so proud of myself but at the same time nervous for next year.
Happy Birthday to me!
I kind of wish my birthday came more than once a year.
I might have to start making everyone celebrate my half birthday!
Birthdays are the best!! I usually turn it into my Birthweek though... :) It's funny though, Matt hates his birthday. He doesn't like being celebrated and having all the attention on him... kind of makes me like it even more... :)
