Happy Birthday to Me! Happy Mothers' Day to Mom!

Today was my 26th birthday. I am now officially closer to 30 than 20 and I seem to be the only one who LOVES that fact. I feel more "grown-up" because of that... Because it was also Mothers' Day (I won't complain anymore, I've done enough of that this week) Kandus and I decided to make dinner at our house and have both our families over. We fed 11 people and made a huge mess (I love to cook and bake but I make a terrible mess) but the food was so so so good! After dinner we sat around and visited and some of us played the Wii again. Then we opened Mothers' Day and birthday presents. Mason, Taylor, and I got my mom new knives and a knife sharpener. For my birthday my parents gave me $$$ and a really cute bag for my laptop. It's been a fun weekend.

I don't usually like cake, but the Elder family has a tradition of making a Chocolate Tweed Cake for everyone's birthday and I L-O-V-E love that cake! So, I made myself a birthday cake.


Mom, Mason, Emma, and Dad
Kendall and Jordan, Kandus' brothers. Aren't they charming?

My cute new computer bag!

The cats loved the fact that it was my birthday because they got a new toy, the box...


They're just so blasted cute!
It was a great day. I am looking forward to being 26! Thanks to all my friends and families who made this weekend and today so great.

Happy Birthday! When you said you were 26, my first thought was no you aren't -- because I'm older than you and I'm not 26. Then I had to stop and laugh as I realized oh duh I'm already 26 too! Anyway Happy Birthday!
