27

I turned 27 this past weekend and what a weekend it was!  Music, friends, family, good food, good weather, cake and ice cream.  I love when my birthday falls on the weekend.

Friday night, Dan and I, along with Dan's family enjoyed a night at Symphony on the Prairie.  We packed a picnic and were treated to the musical stylings of Time for Three.  These guys were amazingly talented and it was an awesome way to start off my birthday weekend.

Saturday, I started the day by having a biscuits and gravy breakfast with Dan, my mom and grandma at a local restaurant called Wheatley's.  Delish!  I thought it was sweet of my mom and grandma to drive up and take me out to breakfast for my birthday.

Later in the day, Dan hosted a party for me and invited some of my friends.  Have I ever mentioned that I have the best friends?  I hope I'm as good of a friend to them as they are to me!  We had a great time playing croquet and cornhole, grilling up some kabobs, and ending the night around the fire pit.  I had such a fun night!

Finally, on Sunday, Dan hosted another party for me and invited our family.  Not only do I have the best friends, but I have the best family, too!  It just doesn't seem like a birthday without family.  I was so happy so many of them could come. 

Dan and I were exhausted by Sunday night.  Darla was, too!

I wasn't too tired for a little Wii Dance with Rita, though!

I had to do something to make myself feel young and limber!

Thank you for the many, many birthday wishes!  It was most definitely a happy birthday!
