My 30th Birthday

by J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) on December 13, 2009

Happy 30th birthday, to me!!

I was too exhausted to go through 600+ pictures by the end of the night, so pretend it’s still my birthday, even though it was yesterday. LOL :D My camera’s memory card actually ran out of space. :shock: That’s the first time that ever happened. We were snapping pics like craaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzy, but unfortunately, Dustin isn’t as good with the camera as I am. lol

We started the day with a super calorific breakfast of eggs over hard, cinnamon toast with butta, and a VERY tall cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream made by Dustin <3

Yummy!! :) I drank ALL of the hot chocolate, too. I think it was the equivalent of Starbucks’ Grande. :shock: It was made with water and not milk though, so that saves a bunch of cals. Not that it matters on my birrrrrrrrrfday! tongue_smile

My party was starting at 4:00PM. Dustin decorated the dining room all by himself! Isn’t he the sweetest ever? heart

I decided to printed out place cards at the last minute, which came out totally cool. If I had thought of them earlier I would have made them more festive. hehe

Hello Kitty cake time! hello_kitty_iconcake To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the cake that we ordered from our favorite bakery in Kingston; it wasn’t nearly as pretty as last year’s! :( It was rather plain looking, so I added a little to it by sprinkling purple sprinkles on it. Seemed to help! :) But you know what they say, it’s not that outside that matters, only the inside. ;)

14″ vanilla and chocolate layered cake with cannoli + chocolate chip and chocolate custard filling and real whipped cream on the outside. DELICIOUS!!

I had a WONDERFUL birthday and got a bunch of awesome presents!! present Including:

  • Bose headphones for my iPod
  • Cookie cutters <3
  • Wii games
  • New Moon and Hello Kitty calendars!!
  • Egg Genie
  • Sims 3
  • Bose iPod dock

Plus other fantastic stuff. Dustin took pictures of the presents and they didn’t come out so hot, lol. Love it all, though! hearts_smiley

So, I’m officially in my 30s! I don’t feel any different. lol I feel exactly the same as I did when I was 10 with the exception of physically feeling VERY old and worn down sometimes. But my inner child will always keep me young at heart. :)
