Birthday Celebrations! xoxo

Just a quick post. 

Turning one year older, is often not very exciting for some people. This year, I turned 20, and I didn't think much of it at all. Initially I wasn't even going to celebrate it, but in the end I did, and what a week of celebrations. There was so much food involved, but for this quick post, I will just post all the awesome desserts I had through out the week between my birthday, and on my actual party. 

I would love to thank everyone who made my birthday extra special this year. It was definitely one of my best birthdays to date. Possibly the best birthday too date! All the birthday messages, wishes, desserts, the love and the care. You all made it extra special and I am so glad to have friends and family that care! <3

To the friends who came to a late night Noggi session before my actual birthday, and stayed with me until 12am on 29/05 to sing me 'Happy Birthday'.To my Japanese friend for the lovely cupcakes on my actual birthday, and distracting me from the surprise party that was planned. To my best friends who brought me flowers and came to watch me play oz tag. To the post oz-tag group who provided a cookies and cream bavarian and sang happy birthday to me at oz-tag. To my friend who brought me home made macarons. To all those who came to the surprise party, and celebrated my birthday with me, and provided the pizzas and cake. To my family who took me out for a great dinner and dessert.To my friend that took me out for an awesome dinner. To my two close friends that helped me prepare for the party. A BIG thank you to everyone who endured the rain and came to my party, where everyone's shoes got destroyed due to muddy conditions. And an even BIGGER thank you for my AWESOME sister for making a very me themed birthday cake and cupcakes that everyone loved, and are still raving about, and sister in law for assisting. And to my parents for helping out with the cooking and some of the cleaning from the party. <3
