Party like it's your birthday

I had a fabulous birthday weekend.
Thanks to all who made me feel extra special this year.
It started off with a breakfast date with Lyndsey and Halle.
A window shopping walk from Anthropologie to the Dollar Store to Goodwill.
Flowers and a date with The Pants to Old Town Pizza and Cool Moon Ice Cream.
Breakfast Saturday at Slappy Cakes with The Pants' parents and sister.
And finally we rounded off Saturday with a Barbeque with many
of our lovely friends and family.
The Pants got me an awesome grill for my birthday (because that's what I wanted).
He also made this ridiculously good cake from scratch which also provided me the
excuse to buy a cake stand--something I've been wanting forever.
It was perfect.
I'm one lucky girl.

Seriously, look at that cake!
Note: 2 candle left over from Jesus' birthday cake from Christmas. (It had 2009 on it).
I'm actually 25.
