25!

Here are a few (okay, alot) of pictures from my birthday! which ended up being celebrated 3 different times this year! can't argue with that :) 

First, Brad's parents took us all to dinner at a delicious restaurant called osaka. They have something called yum-yum sauce that is to die for! And our chef thought i was turning 21, extra tip for him!

 they make you put on these embarassing masks while they sing happy birthday to you with a drum/gong. normally people get like a giant dragon head or something sweet, but for me -- giant baby head?? haha 

 The actual day of my birthday was spent at a lovely wedding for our friends, where brad had groomsmen duties to uphold.

But first (and after the sealing) we had to drive around and get some free food!

Cinnamon rolls the size of my head! These have been feeding us breakfast for seriously 5 days now!

 Mid-day we stopped by my mom's to help her decorate for Christmas and my fave little tikes were there! they gave me some sweet birthday wishes!

 

 then Sunday night we ate dinner at Laura's! my mom made my favorite - stuffed shells, and laura had crembulee for my birthday dessert! classy. I'm not much of a cake gal anymore. not sure why! 

ps: this timer did not capture the best of everyone haha

then we danced around to some christmas music and watched elf.

just as a december birthday should be! 

grateful for wonderful family & friends!

to a new year being 25!
