Birthday Recap

Have I mentioned that I had an awesome birthday? Not only did my friends and family help me celebrate all weekend long, but they got me some very thoughtful gifts too.

Saturday was the Halloween party with my girls, and they gave me such a great present. My sister works at a little gift boutique here in town, and I'm in there at least once weekly to check out the goods. I have been wanting this sweet little cake stand for months, couldn't bring myself to buy it. Whit messaged her for ideas, Trisha immediately went to this cake stand, and the girls pitched in and bought it for me. So sweet!!

I believe they got me the medium one. Won't this be adorable with some cookies or a cake on it? Loved it!

We always go eat for each family member's birthday. Since mine is on Halloween, we always go the day before, after, or whenever we can get together (due to trick or treaters). I chose Cracker Barrel since it was close to town, and I don't go there weekly (even though I had just been Friday). I love CB and could probably eat there every day. So good.

On Monday, after work, the fam (parents, sister, and brother-in-law) came over for pizza, cake, and to hand out candy. We've been doing this for years, and I love it. They surprised me with some pretty awesome gifts too. See if you can find the theme this year.

From the parentals:

You just can't beat cashy money!

Owl Oil Warmer from B&BW

From the sister (and BIL):

I've seriously been wanting one of these for months, and they got it for me! Score! (Plus, I LOVE the purple!)

Gold Blinged Owl Necklace from AEO.

They also got me some super cute owl socks from Old Navy, but I couldn't find a pic online.

I feel so lucky to have these girls and this family to celebrate with me! I hope this year brings lots of new and exciting things! :) Here's to another year older!
