This year I had not one day of birthday celebration.... I had a whole weekend! It was awesome. Here were some of the festivities-
First up was the "WICKED" themed birthday party, complete with an approximation of the Emerald City, and entertainment for everyone consisting of me popping many balloons with my bare hands. You know, you actually get used to the popping sound after awhile...
 |
| The balloons contained pieces of a message that I had to assemble - despite my dismal puzzle skills. |
 |
| This awesome cake was made by my friend Kristi. She is becoming quite the accomplished cake decorator! |
Phase 2 involved a date with my 2 favorite guys to the Provo Beach Resort in Provo Riverwoods. It was a wonderful introduction to the Christmas Season. Afterward, we headed back to my parents' house for the family presents & cake.
 |
| The boys hadn't quite decided on their Christmas lists, but came up with "transformers" and "treats". |
 |
| Yes, that's a big, fat, ol' 4 - 0 on my cake. I'm trying to "own it"! |
 |
| The sweetie of the family - looks a little tired.... |
Phase 3 was a little more complicated - it involved a flight to San Francisco and the addition of one of my best friends in the whole world! We enjoyed staying in a fancy, famous hotel, "The Westin St. Francis", right on Union Square. The morning of my actual birthday, we were awoken to room service and had breakfast in bed - it felt so luxurious! We spent the day shopping, ice-skating in Union Square (well, I did, while K. took pictures of me), and eating at Cheesecake Factory. I loved the excitement and energy of the city! SF is one of my favorite cities of all time.

| Nice view, eh? |

| Breakfast in Bed Birthday morning... |

Thnx for sharing the photos. I've stayed in St Francis before... but at a convention so I didn't have all the fun that you had. I'm glad you had a memorable B-day...
Lots of Love...! Dad
I'm SOOOO lame to be commenting on this so much later than it was posted, but HAPPY LATE LATE LATE BIRTHDAY! It sounded awesome. But I'm dying to know what the message from the balloons said? I mean, how could you leave everyone hanging like that?! :)
