Mom's Birthday Celebration...

...that means my birthday celebration! That's what happens when you get older, you become "mom"!  AND I love it! I love celebrating as a mom, but also as a friend and a wife!  So this year I had a fun extended birthday celebration as a mom, wife and friend!

Birthday celebration with my kiddos!  I went to LA to meet up with a high school friend Christie and go to the Griffith Observatory!  A cool place to go!  I was surprised how busy it was, but it is so great so I can see why!

A birthday visit and gift from my close gal pal Franny!  

Thanks for the cool painting even though I am holding it upside down!

On my birthday night, Jon and I headed to Pantages Theater to see the Phantom of The Opera which I have always wanted to see!  The music was the best part and we had great seats!  It was a wonderful show!! 

Red carpet...

The group of friends who joined us! What a fun group!!

More party peeps! 

My bestie Heather and I  

Then I had to squeeze in one more birthday celebration - shared with my friend Sierra and others- a day at the pool and a ride out to sea on a sailboat!  It was a gorgeous day for both and always fun to spend girl time with this group!

Woohoo! This is how we do birthday!  Here's to another great year!!
