twenty-four {{birthday recap}}

I really want to thank all of you lovelies for the birthday wishes on my last post! You guys are too sweet!  I had a GREAT birthday, I really couldn't have asked for a better day!  

The husband and I both had the day off from work and we had a whole day of fun planned! He started the day off by spoiling me rotten! I must admit he is pretty good at that!  I had a few lovely packages waiting for me when I woke up. 

Can you tell which one he wrapped himself?  LOL! :)  He is kind of hopeless in that department, so when I saw the beautifully wrapped package on the right, I knew he couldn't have done it himself, and I was right.  He had it gift wrapped! What a cutie!  So, here's the lovely little things he got me! :)

A book to add to my collection, and season 1 of Tori & Dean (love them!) and the BEST of all....

COACH SNEAKS! AHHH!! Aren't they gorgeous?! I am in LOVE! :)

We started off our fun day together with some bowling (yes, we are that geeky) and I actually wasn't trailing horrible far behind him!  It MUST have been my birthday!

After bowling, we had lunch at Benihana which is my absolute fav! It was SO very good and I even got a special little birthday treat! 

After stuffing ourselves full, we ventured over to Barnes & Noble and my hubby couldn't resist getting me another gift (again, he spoiled me rotten).  I found this amazing book to add to my coffee table book collection.  It's such a fun book and totally me since I have a major sweet tooth! 

But the birthday fun didn't stop there! The hubby brought me to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, and it was SO yummy, definitely one of our favorite spots.  I even got a little crazy and took a shot....of lemons that is.  (You didn't think I was serious now did you!?!)

Friday night was my birthday night with my favorite girlies! We had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (YUM!)   They seriously have the BEST food ever and it's more than one person could ever possibly eat!

My girls are the best and they totally got me the BEST gifts ever.  Can you find the theme? :) 

Yes, the theme is JUSTIN BIEBER! I must confess, I love him! He's stinking adorable.  I love that they got me a book and the card is Justin BEAVER, LOL!! Hahaha, so great! :)  

And of course, we had to finish the dinner off with cheesecake.  I opted for the chocolate chip cookie dough and it was heavenly good.  They even put a candle on it and wrote Happy Birthday on the plate! 

We finished off the night with going to see Soul Surfer (major tear jerker!).  I had such a fun night with my girls celebrating the big 2-4!

and FINALLY, I finished off the birthday celebrations on Saturday celebrating with my hubby's family.  My sister-in-law Shaynah's birthday is 10 days after mine, so we usually have a joint celebration for our birthdays.  We had dinner at this adorable malt shop called Snuffy's and then went back to her house for cake.  My nephew of course had to help with bowling out the candles! :)

So, there you have it! It was definitely the most fun birthday celebration and a great way to kick off turning twenty-four!
