a grateful 24

Some of you already know that my Birthday is stretched over a weekend or sometimes a week depending on what day of the week it falls.. This year it happened to be on a sunday so we celebrated all weekend long. Sunday started off well... the ward had a linger longer with heaps of good food, I'd like to think it was because they all new it was my birthday ... haha

Then I had been thinking it would be kinda fun to have

a barbie cake like I did when I turned like 10 ?? or something

ya know the ones with the barbie in the middle and the cake was her skirt.. yeah!

We'll my mother in law was so cute and made me a homemade" picture" barbie cake ..

it was adorable & so sweet !!

Monday Matt took me to Pittsburgh where we spent the entire day going to Ikea, Trader Joes Anthropologie, thrift & consignment stores
We wanted to go to art museums too but...

unfortunetly they didn't realize it was my birthday weekend and they were closed

(not cool)

Oh well I still had seriously the best day ever

We ate Chipotle, rode the incline and enjoyed the city view. We drank yummy hot cocoa

I played dress up at a dress shop!! wohoo that was fun (I looked pretty dang hot) ..

we had a character artist draw a picture of us hehe it turned out freaking awesome- I'll share that picture with on a later post ... We shopped at H&M and I bought a cute lil dress for $7 bucks that was normally like $30 can't beat that .. we'll I take that back nothing beats the C.P.K red velvet cake it's a must have every year !!

Thank you all for remembering me on my birthday

& all the days in between the past 24 years, I'm so blessed and grateful for them

And a huge thank you to my boo for treating me on my all weekend long love you !!
