The One Where We Turned 25

First of all I just want to say a big

thank you

for all of your wonderful comments about the baby! And also all the Facebook birthday wishes. I have such wonderful friends! We are thrilled about the baby. I will be bringing more details about the little one on a later post.

Amber and I had a great birthday weekend full of family and good times. I received really fun birthday presents that I'm so excited for. And I just loved spending time with my family and Tyson's family.

***

First off, I received these two cards from two little boys, ages 4 & 5:

The green one was from my nephew Cooper (5) and the pink was from a boy named Clark (4) in my sunbeam class. He loves volcanoes so he drew one for me on the card. Talk about two thoughtful little boys!

The Cake

Friday Night to Saturday Morning

After eating at Olive Garden on Friday night, Amber & I went witch Che' & Tyson to pick up stuff for our birthday cake.
We went with a white cake and turned it orange. Very festive!

(Just ignore my messy kitchen ha ha)

We ended up with chocolate frosting, pumpkin candies, Halloween sprinkles, and candles to make "25".

And here's the final product!

Saturday Afternoon

Tyson wanted me to open my presents from him on Saturday before the party at my parents' house. He got me a new Kathy purse with a matching wallet, a new fall candle, the "Ichabod Crane" movie, and a bag of Halloween M&M's. So fun!

I liked this picture because of the mid-yawn I caught Amy in. I love these kinds of pictures! Classic.

Sunday Afternoon

Party at the Miller's

We went to Tyson's parents' house on Sunday for a birthday party. It was a lot of fun! Steve, Angie, and the kids were also there.

I got some great things here as well! Jewelry clothes, a gift card to Motherhood Maternity...and Erika had dropped off a bag of maternity clothes while she was in town this weekend. Thanks again, Erika! And also thanks everyone else for the fun presents!

We missed one so Easton blew it out.
