Birthday Celebrations

I'm adding on to my earlier post. . . (my birthday lasts for a long time)
Friday the 9th we celebrated my birthday with Shawn's family. Stacey made 3 different kinds of soup and we had them in bread bowls. I LOVE her famous clam chowder. It is so good. I suck at making clam chowder, just ask Shawn. We had fun just hanging out. Our good friends Rey & Emily came over for dinner & hung out with us too. Everyone spoiled me(:

I LOVE birthdays . . . especially mine. Every year I think to myself "hmmm maybe this year will be the year where I grow up and realize that the world doesn't stop for my birthday". Uh maybe next year? I haven't grown up. . . obviously. I am now 23. yay! I feel like I have been waiting my whole life to turn 23. It's still young but just old enough not to be considered really young. Its a nice odd number. . . I love being 23 (:

My Birthday week started on Sunday. . . I like to call it my "Sunday Birthday". My mom always makes us whatever we want for our sunday birthday. . . and our favorite dessert. Its always a nice relaxing day. I always look forward to it. My gma and gpa came to spend the evening with us too. This year I asked for roast with carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy, and ceasar's salad. YUMMY my mom is the best cook!

Shawn was throwing Maggie up. . . like you do with little kids. My Gma was not loving it. She told him he better not do that to her grandkids in the future. . . I had to correct her that it would be her GREAT grandkids! hehe

Time to open presents!

My parents got me a great corning set. I have no idea why its called corning. hmmm but i'm super excited. I didn't get anything like this for our wedding and I have been wanting it for a while. I'm excited to try it out!

My mom makes my ice cream cake. It is SO good. She had 3 layers. Mint hotfudge, chocolate mixed with cinnamon (my fav) crushed oreos and cake batter. Oh it was so good, and is still good. I have had a slice every day since sunday!

Now for my REAL birthday. I had the day off from work, and Shawn stayed home from school. He surprised me with a couple's massage in the morning. It was so nice! Then we went home and got ready for the day. . . and then went shopping. I didn't find anything at the mall. . . but don't worry. Nordstrom Rack did not fail me. Wow I can't believe how much I love that store. I was informed today about a Nordstrom credit card. I won't even let myself think about that. I can just imagine how horribly amazing that would be. . . . .

After shopping we went to see "Whip it". It was pretty cute. We went to Sushi after. It was sooo yummy! I love sushi!!!
