Happy Birthday Wrinkles--- The weekend of Kristin

I am old. I am wrinkly. At least I have the best friends and family ever! They still love me :)
I started off celebrating a few days early with my Mom and sisters by getting a MUCH needed pedicure and then a delish lunch at Kneader's. I got to go to the gym on my Birthday, which for me in the best way to start the day. I came home to find and assorted arrangement of balloons and streamers decorating my front porch.....a pleasant surprise :)

Sara and her boys surprised me with my favorite birthday cake ever.....a huge pancake....so good.









I took myself to lunch at The Pizza Factory and talked Cara and Sara into joining me..... It was quite the experience as always..




As a side note, this is the first day I was able to pull Leila's hair "up" into a mini-tail, very exciting!















Yep 28. Can't believe it.

















I got to celebrate with almost all my family and at my request we enjoyed homemade pizzas, lots of laughs, and one of my all time favorite desserts, Pavlova. I was introduced to this delicacy from heaven when my cousins visited us from Australia as kids. I've been hooked ever since. BEST. TREAT. EVER!! My Mom has mastered the art of making it and even let's me finish it off every year. Thanks Marmy!




Hannah even came home for the festivities!






Feeling the love :)




















Mine is the half with no cheese :) I love me some veggie sauce bread!







Maci is not a fan of the paparazzi....at least not while she;s eating.






I was even graced by the presence of the Atomic Bomb....he is rarely not working on such occasions. He's the best Bro-in-law ever.....he even acted as though he was enjoying himself :)



Mom and Han prepping their pizza.



Thank you, Thank you for all the love. I scheduled myself to work the night of my Birthday and for the first time in a long time I really regretted it. I am truly blessed with a Husband, friends and family that love me. It was a painfully happy day of recognizing my oldness.

Cute pictures. I love the commentary, as always. The Pavlova looks amazing! I’ll have to get the recipe from your mom.
