My 23rd Birthday Celebration!!!!

My birthday celebration started Friday afternoon with my parents coming into town on their way to Austin. Part of my birthday present from them was a bookshelf to put in my room. My mom said she was sick of all the clutter on my floor! Ha! While my dad put it together my mom and I went to get our nails/toes done! We were so impressed that he put it together in about an hour and a half! Last year when he put my bakers rack together it took him about 3 hours! Ha! Afterward, we all went out to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch!

Since I was having a SATC themed birthday party my mom got creative and made these cute Martini glasses for me!! She was SO proud of herself! She bought New York themed stickers to put in the glasses too!



Late Friday evening my best friend Kimberly came in. Saturday we went and had lunch at Freebirds....she loves that place! Then we went shopping for shoes and accessories! I found the cutest bracelet at Charming Charlies!

Kimberly made me 23 cupcakes in the shape of a 23! In the middle of each cupcake is a lifesaver - which is the candle holder! How cute is that?!

Our drink of the night was called a Flirtini - just as seen on the season three finale of SATC!

 I found my dress at Macy's on sale for 30% off! I love it!
For my birthday dinner where else did we go other than Los Cucos?! Here we are waiting for our table ....my mom bought me the PINK boa and the crown. And Kristan and Caitlin gave me the "Miss Birthday Girl" sash to wear! I thought it was my Bachelorette party! Ha! I was just missing the ring!

Kimberly gave me the season three DVD of SATC! She also gave me this really cute jacket from Wet Seal and a cocktail ring/earrings! I ♥ it! Thank you SO much Kimberly!
The cute towel my Aunt Tina gave me! The shoes are from Cait...I have been wanting sandals like these! Thank y'all!
Kristan gave me all this teacher stuff for my first year of teaching!!! I LOVE it! She gave me boy/girl passes,  an EZ grader, and a cute stamp set! Thank you so much Kristan!!!
 
The waiters singing Happy Birthday to me and covering my face with whip cream....I was so embarrassed!!
After dinner we came back to my apartment for cupcakes and cocktails! I love my 23 cupcakes in the shape of the number 23!
Some of my favorites!
Making a wish!
 CHEERS!
Later we went out to Northgate to celebrate! We started our night going to Martini Street!
Me and my best friend!

Thank y'all SO much for such a wonderful Birthday! I had a blast!!! ;)
