They Say It's Your Birthday

I can't believe I'm 30. It's so weird. I got a lot of birthday wishes on Facebook, and my family threw a very nice party for me. Sarah went all out with the decor. The balloons were a big hit. Mia was having a rough time, but hey--there's always time for helping out your sisters! Seeing all of the candles was pretty depressing. Mom made two yummy pineapple upside-down cakes, but she usually gets the number candles. Nope--I got 30. Sad. At least some people got a kick out of it. Me, not so much. I love the way this one turned out. And here are a few pictures of the boy. He's so cute. I can't believe I'm 30, but I really can't believe that he'll be one in a couple of weeks!
 
 
 
He's so funny. He has been making such funny faces. I love it.
 
More later. I need to sleep now--old age has definitely caught up with me.

Happy Birthday! You are so old!! I can't believe we're coming up on thirty, it used to seem so far away.

If it wasn't your birthday, and I wasn't half expecting it, I'd be so so mad at you for posting that picture!

(I'm glad you had a good day - the inferno was one to remember!)

You don't want to know how freeing of my mind it is to tell you A'POX UPON YOU FOR THE HORRIFIC PICTURE YOU POSTED ON THE INTERNET FOR ALL TO SEE!!! Don't expect any "sisterly" favors to head your direction --until I have freed my mind with an unflattering pic of my own... WAIT. It was your birthday.
"Alright you baaaaaad boy, but no more FREEBIES!"

Happy birthday (belated)!! I'm actually kind of excited for thirty. Maybe that will change in a couple of months when I actually get there. Looks like a fun party. Since Darryl turned 30 already, I bought the number candles and saved them for use on my own cake--maybe that'll make thirty easier to swallow. :)

Happy B-day Mary! I used to think 30 was old when we were in high school. Now it just feels like the beginning :)
