My birthday wing-ding.

This Saturday we had my birthday celebration...wing-ding as it was named on Facebook.

Some of our family made the trip from our hometown. Justin's parents, his brother, and my dad all made the trip. It meant a ton to have them there; especially since the weather didn't really cooperate and forced them to take an alternate (much longer) route.

The fam L-R... my husband, dad, FIL, MIL, BIL. I love these people!! :)

We had a table reserved at Paddy O'Quigleys (my absolute favorite bar in KC) at 6pm on Saturday evening. We had dinner with just the family and a couple of close friends. Everyone else arrived a little bit later, but we definitely had the party started very early on in the evening.

Justin and me.


There were lots of drinks drank.

I got the best birthday surprise ever...one of my very good friends, H, made the trip from Springfield. She led me to believe earlier in the week that she would not be able to make it. I was completely surprised and of course cried. Ha. :)

Yay for awesome friends L-R: Megan, me, H (!!!), and Beth.

We sang 2 or 3 karaoke songs, dance for hours, and just had an awesome time. I wish I could have a birthday celebration more than once a year. I always have an awesome time.

I was very relieved to wake up on Sunday without a hangover. Instead, I woke up with an extremely sore body that is even worse today. I feel like I ran a marathon on Saturday. I did not run a marathon, but I definitely danced a marathon. So fun! :)

Thank you to everyone that came to celebrate with me!!
