It's Birthday Time!!

It has been Birthday Time around these parts!

Trent and I are exactly 1 week apart. And a few years, of course.

This year Trent requested his favorite homemade ice-cream sandwich cake.
He was so excited to receive his special front-designed-wallet and new glasses.
He also was given a water gun, and matchbox cards which were quickly confiscated by Jackson. 

I was spoiled for my birthday this year. 

Trent splurged and bought me a Tangled Rapunzel Birthday Cake!!!

I just love how her hair is continued in frosting. 

When he went to pick up the cake, the bakery woman said 

"I spelled her name in cursive...will she be able to read it?"

What? Doesn't every 20 + year old get a Princess Birthday cake?

Trent also got me the matching Rapunzel Barbie and some beautiful multi-colored freshwater pearls.
Rapunzel now holds a place of honor on our bookshelf.

Trent also gave me the sweetest shoes I have ever seen.
To be honest, they remind me of Sharpay Evans from High School Musical....

Don't you just love the bling?? I especially love the diamond studded buckle!

We had a small get-together on my birthday with some of my closest friends...

...And their Moms. 

And of course we took advantage of all the birthday freebies we could find!
