31

I can't believe that I am 31, how time flies. I love the place I am at now. I love being a mom and a wife, and being surrounded by such wondeful friends and family to share my birthday with. I am truelly blessed. And after all, age is a state of mind and I still feel 21(well, like a tired 21 year old! :)

My actual bday was last Friday. Got up with sweet greetings and kisses from Ed and William. My phone was buzzing really early with phone greetings from my siblings and parents. I can't wait for their visit and do another bday celebration. Me love bdays, no? :)

Got in at work and was surprised to see balloons, flowers and cake in my office. To deck me out, they got me a tiara and ring as well. You would think I'm having a bachelorette party....wrong props but hey I still love it. I'm new to the team and was really flattered by their thoughtfulness. Gotta heart coworkers with a zest for fun and appreciates good birthdays. I didn't had the chance to take some photos at work so I asked Ed to take some of me on my tiara and ring for memories.
I got in from work. Ed had planned a wonderful bday dinner for me at our favorite Sushi place. We've been going to this restaurant for years and I still enjoy their food. Every bite of the sushi and sashimi is scrumptious. Also got home, to a big surprise. William and Ed got me the new Flip. I've been wanting one for a while. My boys are getting really good at surprising me. Didn't expect this as we had planned on giving me a shopping spree weekend for my bday gift. So now I have both....lucky me, huh. Sneaky Ed. I was so touched by his effort and desire to really make this day special for me. Saturday, had an intimate lunch with friends at Hudson Grille. Forgot to take picture of my crabcake meal. It was soooo good. One of the best ones I've had. Here's a picture of the family in front of my ginormous cake. It was so delish. Ed had it special ordered from Metrotainment Bakery. It's really good.
And to all my friends,thanks for making this year special...again. I'm really lucky to have you guys. Much love and appreciation to your thoughtfulness and generosity. Kisses!And to show off my new gift...Here's a video of me with my bday cake.

Happy belated Birthday, Donna! The pictures are great. I have heard raves about the new Flip and may have to grab that for my little filmakers for Christmas.
The tiara and ring were very becoming! That cake put 30 pounds on my hips just looking at the video! I'm so glad you had a spectacular birthday!
