Happy Birthday to Me...and Woody :)

Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted anything on here! I finally got some help on getting pictures, so I am back in business.

October, besides being the beginning of my favorite season, is also the month of birthday excitement. Woody and I share a birthday month and our birthdays are only separated by 5 days. I just turned 17 and Woody turned 15. Both of us thoroughly enjoy our birthdays and we spent both of them very happily.

On my birthday I had a day out with Mrs. Potato Head. We got a relatively early start and headed to the nearest mall for a day of shopping. We took our time browsing clothes, crafts, and Bath and Body Works. We then headed to McAllisters Deli for a delicious sandwich and soup lunch, followed by a bowl of birthday cake ice cream...YUM! Of course, this was all done amid laughter and good conversation. Then that night I headed up to Minnesota with my church young group. Thankfully we only drove 4 hours that night! So besides the terrible hotel we stayed at that night, I had a fun filled birthday!

Since I was gone with the young group all weekend, I celebrated with my family on Monday night. That is when I got all my birthday presents...

I got a REALLY cool bulletin board made by my cousin (check out her blog: dancetothemusicbyjo.blogspot.com), a couple really cute picture frames, a pillow for my soon to be redecorated room, and a Baby Cakes cake pop maker!!!! (and more...I just realized I pretty much got spoiled this birthday!) Since our birthdays are so close together, Woody and I open presents together every year. Woody's favorite gift is the light saber he got from our aunt...he takes it with him everywhere!

 

 

One more birthday down the hatch! Thanks to all my family for the wonderful gifts, cards, and birthday wishes!
