Birthday Fun

December is craziness so this is a delayed post! My birthday was December 7th (a day which will live an infamy). I wasn't crazy about turning *gulp* 23 but now that's it's come and gone, it really doesn't seem like that big of a deal. I think it's safe to say I still have a good amount of youth left in me. ;) I'm also somehow convinced 40 looks like Jennifer Aniston... so that might be a rude awakening.

For my birthday a bunch of friends were able to come to DC to go out and celebrate. It's fun having your birthday on a Friday! We all started at my sister's house and went from there. It was so nice to see all my friends from relatively different friend groups all come together! And I got such cute and great presents. Let's just say my friends know I love earrings! And I got an oreo ice-cream cake. Yea.

From my parents I got a Michael Kors tote and wallet. That wasn't the original birthday plan but I went shopping with my mom on Black Friday and simply couldn't resist, so they became my birthday present, and it was more than worth it, I'm mildly obsessed. (I stare at my tote sometimes at work...)

I went out to dinner with my mom the Eve before my birthday, went out with my friends for my birthday, spent the rest of the weekend with my sister and brother-in-law who kept treating me to birthday-girl everythings, and then went out to dinner with my whole family the Monday afterward my birthday weekend. It was never-ending and I loved it! And now Christmas is around the corner so there's no time to be disappointed it's over. :)
