Birthday Weekend!

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26

was my actual birthday!

I went to work as I do every morning and after the lunch rush had come and gone, a gentleman walked in to deliver these:

My 3 favorite kiddos in the entire world, T, K & J sent them to me!!! :)

It was a very pleasant surprise! Aren't they pretty!!!!

I came home from work, packed up my things and headed to the somewhat old stomping grounds. Of course by "old stomping grounds" I mean where I lived before moving to the QC in September!

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27

was Jonah's 1st Birthday!

Saturday morning I woke up and went to a far away town to try on a bridesmaids dress for my friend C's wedding in July and after that I came back to the old stomping grounds and went to a birthday party for a very special little boy!

Sweet Jonah turned 1 year old Saturday! I have never gone to such an AWESOME party before in my life! I'm talking balloon animals, ring toss, pin the tail on the donkey, popcorn, cotton candy, photo booth, lollipop tree, petting zoo and this amazing cake:



Watching Janel put it together was like being front row and center for one of the Food Network Challenge Cake competitions! It was awesome!

Of course, the highlight of the party was this little guy!

I'm sure Patrice will post party pictures so it's definitely worth checking out! She did a phenomenal job planning the party and hosting the party!

After I left Jonah's Celebration of the Century, I met A & K for Birthday Dinner followed by a basketball game. It was so fun to hang out with A & K again and to also see so many people at the basketball game that I haven't seen since I moved.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28

was birthday dinner in the QC w/friends

After work I met some friends for Birthday dinner at a restaurant that I hadn't been to yet. It was yummy! As we were leaving we decided that we should get together once a month for lunch or dinner and try out all the restaurants in the area that we've never been too! I think we are on to something with this plan!

We probably won't be invited back here due to the status in which someone, ABC, left the tablecloth!

The great thing is, ABC wrote that upside down! Don't fret...it's just a thick piece of paper they put on top of the linen!

I think it's safe to say I had a great birthday filled weekend!

I am blessed with such an awesome group of friends not to mention a wonderful family!

Jonah's 1st Birthday Auction

As you probably know, sweet Jonah Williams will be a year old on February 27, 2010!!!! YAY! One of Patrice's friends, along with the help of Patrice, has put together an online auction to raise money for DebRA. I think it would be great if you at least went to go visit the site and maybe if something catches your eye, bid on it! Of course, if nothing interests you (but seriously, how could it not!) you could always just make a donation to DebRA. This is a great cause and the Williams family is wonderful. I've had the honor of meeting them (really because I lived a hop skip and jump from the hospital where Jonah spent a lot of time when he was first born and I was the stalker blog reader that brought them some 'waiting room' treats!) and they really are an amazing family.

Happy almost Birthday Jonah! You are too cute for words!

Oh, and I must say, my birthday is the day before Jonah's and really, all I want for my birthday this year is for this auction to be a huge success! He's got the adorable face and charm, a hilarious and loving mom and dad, but you wouldn't want to disappoint me now would ya?! :)
