Happy birthday to you!
Yes we're gonna have a party-party
Well we had one three weeks ago...and I got a little busy, and moved and got a fancy job...
Yes we're gonna have a party-party
and I couldn't tell you about my party, so now I'm telling you about it even though it's three weeks later...

My birthday celebrations this year were all about three things: Thrifting, which I reported on a post or two ago, food, and my awesome friends and family.

Let's start with food shall we? My morning started like this:



Doesn't that look like a healthy, nutritious way to start your day? Mmm-mmm. Stonehouse Baking Company doughnuts are the freaking best.

After those tasties were scarfed down, my mum and I worked on a veritable birthday feast for my guests! Mom made guacomole and CRAB CAKE SLIDERS (I know - breathe fellow foodies - it's gonna be okay) on homemade slider biscuit buns. For the main event, I made steamers with clam chowder sauce from a recipe I found in a 2001/2 Martha Stewart Living.

Here are my steamers taking a bath:



There were vanilla cupcakes and honeydew melon mint pistachio popsicles for dessert, but strangely I have no pictures of those...

There were games,



and music,



and babies galore!









Friends,





and family.

All in all, the party was awesome.

HURRAY!



Now I'm busy making year 27 great. Please bear with me as I dust the cobwebs of of my blog :)
