Every other birthday that I have had has been celebrated with my family. Laura's birthday is just two days ahead of me so we would usually celebrate our birthdays together...but not this year, this year was different. I'm in Austin.
It ended up being ok. It was fun to receive packages in the mail throughout the week before my birthday...and of course...I like presents...who doesn't?! I couldn't wait until my birthday, I had to open them right away...I didn't even wait for Hilary. You can call me a little childish.
The first present arrived and was a beautiful necklace from Jill. LOVE IT!!! It came in this cute little tin. It's reversible so one side is pink and one side is green!


My mom sent me a couple of skirts that she made for me. I love them! Here is a pic of one of them.



Then came the last package the day before my birthday. Hilary was actually home for this one so she took some pictures. This was from the McCarraghers...

So Laura and I had a conversation about what I wanted for my birthday...somehow we got on the topic of pool toys and we got to laughing, imagining a raft coming in the mail or even a noodle! So I opened the box and there it was!

There was also a suspicious card...
