The big 24!!!!!!

I think the only bad thing about birthday's is that they only come once every 365 days. You have this great day and then you have to wait a whole year for it to come again. Let me tell you I had an AMAZING birthday on the 13th. And ps...I'm 24???? When did that happen?? Well, the number sounds old but I don't feel old. I'm the exact same...just older haha. My amazing day was all because of my friends and family that I was able to celebrate with. My mom, dad and Kyran came down from Idaho for the weekend. First we celebrated with a few rockin presents at Shantae's house.....

Seeing these cuties just makes my day :)

New straighteners! We should have a moment of silence because I seriously love this thing! Thanks mom and dad!

Then we celebrated by having lunch at Benihana's. MMMMmmm...

A tiny asain lady sang 'happy birthday' to me while beating a drum and shaking a tamborine-I don't think I understand a word she said, but it was cute :) I love this picture because of Eden's face-she wanted to blow out the candle so bad!
We went back to Shantae's for some delicious ice cream cake. Once again, Eden is entranced by the candles.
Then I got to spend the evening with my most favorite people! We started by eating super greasy pizza at The Pie-by Jenni's request ;) hehehe
Next we went bowling. While we were waiting for our lane we played some arcade games-I felt like I was back in 5th grade but hey, who cares? Me and Jenn rocked this game!

The thing about these games is even though you know they're rigged, I think we all have this secret desire to be that one person who actually outsmarts the machine and wins a great prize. As much as we were rooting for Jarom to win this one....it just didn't happen :( Maybe next time though :)

I cannot begin to explain how much I love these girls! They made me feel so special and we had so much fun! Thanks girls! You rock!

So just to prove how amazing my friends are, they gave me awesome presents every place we went. At the bowling alley I got these super cute socks. At dinner it was cute jewelry and back at my apartment it was Reeses and the most comfortable pj's ever! Seriously I wear them all the time. And not to mention the best movie-Newsies!
Jenni made this delish (non chocolate :)) cake which was great!
And finally a whole group shot. Most amazing friends a girl could ever ask for. Thank you everyone for making me feel special on my birthday-love you guys!
