Birth-o-Ween 2010!

I'M OFFICIALLY 21!!

I could really end this post there because this has been the moment EVERYONE in my personal and social life has been waiting for. But I won't deprive you of the pictures from this life-changing event.

Joe came up on Wednesday, my mom came up on Thursday, and then my dad and sister came up on Friday and Saturday. We took it easy on friday to prepare for the upcoming shenanigans. On Saturday, we started the night by going to a yummy Italian restaurant in my area called Carmine's.

From there, we went home and got our costumes on.
At midnight, when I officially turned 21, we met some of my friends out at a bar to begin the night. Mom and dad made it til 3 am that night and then we all went home because we had another day planned of fun!

      

        On Sunday morning we headed to our good old Packer bar, The Spot. I had my first trip to the amazing bloody mary bar as a 21 year old. They gave me a special desert, gave me free packer bombs, and sang me happy birthday. And it all ended with a Packer win!!! (Note the sweet 21/Halloween sash that my mother made).
















We came home to open presents and I got tons of good stuff! The fam planned 21 presents all falling under a "bow" theme because I love all things with bows!

Sunday night was the best of all when we did a family pub crawl to the bars in my neighborhood. EVERYONE there was dressed up and they went ALL OUT! There was free champagne, costume contests, free drinks, etc just the way a 21st birthday should be!

             On Monday, the family left and I took Joe to my favorite restaurant of all time, The Melting Pot. It was a great weekend, and it will be an even better year now that I can order ANYTHING I want on the menu from a water with lemon to a Singapore Sling.
