Birthday Celebration June 29, 2008

My family decided to celebrate my birthday early this year. It was another crazy night at Joslyn’s Party Central!

Mom making drinks from her Embibe magazine:

I don’t remember everything that was in these, but I know there was some Creme de Cassis:

Don’t you love my Dad’s hawaiian shirt?

The boys.

My special birthday dinner request: pizza! From Peace a Pizza. We ordered 4-cheese, mozzarella, and Mediterranean:

Chad made the salad dressing with herbs from my garden:

Chad dropped a piece of pizza on the floor by accident so Dad threw it out in the yard for the birds:

Presents!

We gave Dad an iPod Shuffle for his belated Father’s Day gift:

Then came my plethora of gifts–I was a bit overwhelmed!

What normal 31-year-old woman gets excited for a Bat House and massage chair pad?

Cake! I requested a special cake that was in a Real Simple magazine. My mom switched it up a little–it was so delicious. She used 6 huge ice cream sandwiches and then in the middle of the sandwiches she put mint chip (my favorite), coffee, and chocolate peanut putter ice cream. It was iced with my favorite icing–from a can! It was so delicious. We have leftovers. Did I mention that it was delicious?

Thanks, everyone for celebrating with me!
