Eri's 23rd!!

My baby {only} sister celebrated her 23rd birthday on Saturday. Somedays I feel like I am still 23 and until a few weeks ago I forgot I was 25. No honestly {drinks may have been involved} I had to ask the Hubby I'm 25 right?! I remembered I celebrated my birthday but until someone asked me how old I was and I said 25 out loud I guess it didn't hit me haha. Does that ever happen to you, something doesn't seem real until you say it out loud??

Since my sister lives at the lake that is where we were off to on Saturday afternoon. I was glad to get to the lake because we hadn't been there for a long time I just wish the ice was off and the snow was gone but this year that seems like a dream. 

We had a fun afternoon watching Eri open presents then board games and sipping on champagne. 

Oh ya and I almost forgot to mention the delicious birthday cakes, yes that is plural and we all ate some of both!!

Eri picked a new (to us) restaurant to eat supper at and it was DELICIOUS, I even found a craft project for my hubby. A use for all the wedding corks!! 

The service at The Fireside was wonderful and the view was amazing with a beautiful sunset over the lake; definitely a place we will return to. 

I hope my sister had a wonderful time celebrating with the family, I know I did!

25th Birthday Recap

I'm 25!! Oh my goodness somedays I feel like I just graduated from high school and that was already 7 years ago - Crazy!! 

My birthday was on a Sunday and I decided to celebrate the Friday before in Fargo. My Parents, Eri, Walker, Steve & I went out for supper at Mezzaluna; the food was delicious and the atmosphere made us feel like we were in Chicago or New York. It was fun to go out somewhere new and I enjoyed not being at a chain restaurant. Erika was sneaky and made cupcakes for me, she arranged it with the restaurant to bring them to me at the end of the meal, there was one for all 6 of us ... the cupcakes were delicious and it made me feel SuPeR SpEcIaL!! 

After supper there was a surprise birthday/welcome home party for my cousin Amy at the HoDo - so we went there, visited, had a few beers then Steve NEEDED a TV so we went to a sports bar. It was the start of March Madness and Kansas was playing their first game, thank goodness they won. 

A bunch of our friends came out and we all had a great time celebrating!!

Here are some pictures from the weekend ::
