My birthday was the best. We figure that we are getting old (well, not relatively), but as we start kicking these years down, we are going to do it in style. Afterall, the only thing we have is time, right? So- we celebrated big!!
Steve made me the BESTEST b-day lunch with all of my favorite things... salmon, rice, tomatos/cucumbers, and all of these amazing salads. Soooo yummy. I am so lucky to be married to such a great cook.
We made this gluten free ice cream cake together- which was a big feat. It actually turned out pretty good- but I'll have to tweak the cake mix because it dries out earlier than normal.
I love these candles- they don't remind you of how many years your turning! Just a nice greeting !
Later on in the week, we threw a dance party- hip hop style. I'm not sure why I have been obsessed with dance mobs/hip hop/dancing in general, but why not!? My favorite song as of late is Rock Party Anthmn by LMFAO... and we have been practicing how to "shuffle" at home. Even little Emi says "Everybody shuffln!" Man- it can be hard. But- a good workout.
We rented out a dance studio (http://eliteballroomstudio.com/) of a friend of ours (check it out! It's awesome!!), and got her to teach us choreographed moves to the chorus of Rock Party Anthmn for 30 min and then then learn how to cha cha for the second 30 min.
I can't wait to pull out these moves in a random location to be announced :)
We then spent the next two hours dancing like there was no tomorrow- man- I felt like I was 16 again. I LOVE dancing, and have always loved it, but we just haven't gone in forever. With the help of many (songs aren't my strong suit), we pulled together an awesome dance mix. I don't think I stopped for more than 10 minutes.
There wasn't much time to take any pics, but the ones we did have (in our amateur rickety photo booth) came out awesomely blurry!
Some awesome party goers! Thanks for the props Janelle- super cute.

The party was so fun--LOVED learning the dance! But mostly I'm just jealous of Steve's cooking!
I'm also jealous of Steve's cooking. He's amazing.
That party was AWESOME. I'm so glad you didn't post the stupid pics we took--we were sweaty and gross. But that's the way you should be at the end of a good, fun night. Happy bday!
