Happy Birthday To Me

I turned the big 2-7 this week.  I actually got to celebrate my birthday this year instead of attending weddings.  So I made up for the past 2 years.  I started with a birthday dinner last Tuesday with Mom, Dad, and my nephew Ben.  We enjoyed one of these.

Then on Friday, I enjoyed a 2nd birthday dinner with my sister Kelli, and my nephew Ben.  We enjoyed one of these.

Tip: go to Granite City and take an empty Birthday bag or two with you and tell them its your birthday, they don't ask for proof.  The above dessert, suuuuper delicious and free :)


On Saturday I celebrated my birthday with a bunch of girlfriends.  We all met for dinner at Champps, and then proceeded to Throwbacks for some drinks and a live band, maybe a little dancing, and a few more drinks.

Kim, Breck, Anne, Me, Paula
Megan, Katie, Kristie

5 shots, 4 girls...you do the math

Finally, Monday rolled around and it was actually my birthday, but I think I was all celebrated out because by the time I got home from work I hit the couch with a massive headache.  But my friend/coworker, Bobby took me out for lunch so I did get a mini celebration in.  Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday this year, it was a great one!
