I LOVE my birthday every year! Some may not think January would be a good month to have a birthday, let alone just 12 days after christmas! But I seriously LOVE it!! It helps the saddness of Christmas being over to not sting so bad, ya know what I mean? Because I get to look forward to my birthday!!
I turned 26 this year. CRAZY!! I still feel 17, and I feel like I'll probably feel that way for (maybe) the rest of my life?! Time is so weird that way!
My birthday landed on a Saturday this year, so that was fun! Drew and Lila picked up donuts for us for breakfast and they got the last two alligator donuts!! So lucky! I blew out a candle in a donut as they sung to me, and it was fun! Plus the donuts were delicious of course.
I opened up presents that Drew had got for me-- he did good! He got me a thread wallet, film for my polaroid camera, the cutest shirt and hat, and a popsocket and finger holder thing for my phone.
Bill and Linda came over soon after and Linda had made me some homemade candles. So that was a really cool and unique gift! I love candles! They left for the afternoon while the girls had naps and then came back just in time to watch the girls while we went to dinner with a bunch of friends!
We met up with everyone at Pizzeria Limone- my favorite! Lindsey and Parker came, Laura and Mike, Suzanna, Kambry and Tyler, and Megan, Dan, and Winston! It was so much fun to feel loved and surrounded by some of my good friends down here in St. George!
We went back to our place after we were done eating to play some games and eat treats. (Laura had given me the cutest lanyard and mini candle, Parker and Lindsey gifted us movie tickets to go to a show with them soon, and Suzanna gifted me my favorite candle ever [watermelon lemonade] and some delicious cocoa shea butter from bath n body! I was spoiled!) Bill and Linda gave me the remainder of my presents. They spoiled me with a huge beautiful wall mirror from target, a gift card to target, and some decorative succulents. Kambry walked in and surprised me with a gift from my parents!! A beautiful circular shelf that I wanted from target, another succulent, and an adorable basket to hold our blankets! And then Kambry also got me a gift-- a macrame plant holder that will hang from our ceiling. I'm so excited about everything I got! I was seriously spoiled!!
Well we ended up playing a couple rounds of Quiplash on the PS4, and also the couch name game. It was a lot of fun! Our space was squishy, and the kids (Lila, Winston, and Luke [Suzanna's boy]) definitely had fun making a huge mess everywhere with all our toys haha but it was still fun to have everyone over. We had hot chocolate floats with marshmallows to top, mint icecream if they wanted, cinnamon candies, and my amazing chocolate chip cookies. Also can't forget the big bowl of popcorn too!
I was so happy all day long. I loved receiving texts, comments on Instagram and Facebook, and messages all day! I have the best friends and family in the world. I felt so loved all day long, so thank you to everyone who thought of me!! 26 is going to be a good year :)
Love,
Kate
