Birthday Parties...=)

Yep, yours truly had a birthday last week. =) I am now 22...just typing that feels weird! My birthday celebrations were a little more subdued this year. Life is just too busy to stop and party the whole week of my birthday; isn't that a shame? We still managed to celebrate quite a few times though.

The kick off was with the Monday night crew at the Pierce's. I love spending Monday nights with these families....we always have such a good time (and of course, good food). I don't have any pics from this night though so Tina, can you email me some?
That Friday, my mom and sister surprised me with a night out. The wouldn't tell me anything about our night so I just was along for the ride. It started with dinner at one of our favorite Italian places. Then we saw Pollyanna at a local theater (soooo cute! loved it!). I thought the night was over after that but no! We stopped by Chili's for 2 desserts!

Waiting on the play to start..

Demolishing molten lava cakes at Chili's...yum!

The whole night was a lot of fun with quality girl time. Thank you guys for such an awesome evening!


Monday, I had dinner with my grandparents, aunt, cousin, and all of my family at the Italian restaurant again (can you tell we really like it?). There are a quite a few of my friends who have B'days the same week as mine so we were all celebrated at bible study that night. Afterwards, Linzi and Josh were sweet enough to have cake and ice cream. =)


This picture cracks me up! We all have weird looks on our faces..especially Mario. The combination is..wow...hahahahaha


Tuesday, my actual birthday, Melody, Dawson, and I had Coldstone Creamery and Quiznos (in that order too..heehee). After prayer, I celebrated with a few friends at one of our new favorite Mexican restaurants.

Katie combined my birthday and christmas presents...so she wrapped it in both..heehee




And finally, this past Saturday, we celebrated with some other friends at another favorite Mexican restaurant. =)


So, what do you think? I know it wasn't as overdone as last year but I think we managed to do a good job squeezing in celebrations. =) Thank you everyone for making my birthday so incredibly special! I have the best friends in the world...hands down.
