Happy Birthday to me and Ellie, my almost birthday twin!

---

Thought you'd like to see a few pics of my birthday party which my fabulous friends Lauren and Allyn threw for me. We had an absolute blast! Then, the party continued on Saturday when I celebrated with Ellie with a cookout and more yummy cake. Hope April brought you wonderful May flowers at which to look! M

Me and cake...together again
Coconut cake...yum!

The greatest girls in the world
are standing next to me!

Everybody loves a Jetta
Lauren was missing her Jetta so she climbed in Allyn's to reminisce.

I'm fabulous
and I had beachy sandal lights for my party!

All my marvelous local friends
From left to right: Allyn, Lauren, Laura, Cindy, and Jen. Jen wins the prize for coming the greatest distance--all the way from Durham!

More cake
Ellie's cake was a five flavor pound cake with a butterfly theme. She's three now--I can't believe how much she's grown! If you ever see her, ask her to say "orange"....

Quintessential Ellie
Ellie loved her "dress up box" gift. She was walking in the heels like she was born wearing them!

I just had to include this
A raccoon jumped in front of Allyn's car on her way to work a couple weeks ago and it was huge. Big enough that no one hit it again the whole day and it was still there 4 days later. It was also big enough to crack her radiator and crack paint off her bumper!
