I had my 25th birthday! I don't know why but for some reason I have been stuck thinking I am 22 years old. So for me to turn 25, I don't know where the last three years have gone? Anyway, I love having a Halloween birthday, especially when Halloween is on Sunday, (it means I pretty much get a 3 day weekend of fun celebrations). This year Travis and I threw a little Halloween/birthday party for me and Jenny, my sister-in-law. We share the same birthday, as does every in-law in the family. I guess that means we'll make it! Here are some pictures:
I dressed as Hannah Montana, and Travis was supposed to dress as Billy Ray Cyrus, but no matter how many different wigs we tried (three I think) he just kept looking like white trash. And that wasn't "pretty" enough for my Trav, so naturally he dressed in my old Marilyn Monroe costume. I feel so lucky to have Trav, he is such a good sport about things like this. I sure love him. Also... he got me a NEW camera this year, so you can probably tell the difference in quality in pictures now, right?? Anyway, I love it so much!
Tom and Jenny. They just moved to Idaho, and we already miss them so much!
My mom totally wins the cake with the costume. She was a flasher, and totally creepy! No one even recognized her for awhile. It was pretty hilarious.
Apparently my family takes Halloween pretty serious. My brother was a jolted dead spanish bride. Creepy McCreeper. My sister also had a great costume, but I didn't even get to see it! But she was a "has-been", she wore a tight shirt so her prego belly stuck out, but it looked like a beer belly and wore her old high school letterman jacket. hilarious.
The birthday girls. The wig got pretty hot... Anyway, this was taken moments before I dropped the cake :( And than the next day, when we were having a birthday dinner with my family, my mom dropped my cake right after I blew out the candles. Needless to say, my diet started yesterday :)
Also, here is my cute nephew, he could not get enough of the chips and dip. He had one in each hand. He's a crack up.
Not only did we have a fun party, but I got to go to two dinners with some of the most amazing ladies I know! I feel so lucky to have such great friends, and I cannot thank them enough for making this past year so amazing.
I didn't get a picture of the other dinner. But I must share the thoughtful gift Aubrey gave me. She gave me three picture frames with old pictures of me and my dad. I cried. a lot. It was so very thoughtful, and she knew exactly how it felt to have that first birthday without a father there to sing Happy Birthday. I didn't think it would be so hard, but it was. I am so grateful for my friendships and the love I am so lucky to receive from those around me. I have an amazing life and I truly could not ask for better friends, family, and husband.
