birthday '15.. the big twenty-five!

my birthday ended up being the sunday that we were in dallas. on saturday, we were all at a dinner party. the boys left early and pretended to go watch the boxing match that night at a friends house but in reality they went and bought a cake and decorations to set up for when i got home.  when my sister and sister in laws brought me home about an hour later it was already way past midnight and the boys had everything set up in the kitchen. i was surprised when i saw everything but i barely had time to react because like four seconds later saad and my brothers popped out from the room and attacked us all with silly string. it was awesome and i totally didn't expect a thing. :)

 ^^silly string everywhere

^^when it was all nice and cleaned up lol. saad also got me pretty red roses and the sweetest card ever. 

in the morning we all got ready and went shopping so i could pick out my birthday gift. saad ended up buying me a selfie stick which he proceeded to take over and be obsessed with for the rest of the night. it was actually pretty funny. 

 ^^when he first opened the selfie stick..

 ^^this is just the beginning..

^^funny faces

 ^^brother and sister in law got one too!

 ^^the funniest.

after our shenanigans with the selfie stick and some shopping at nordstrom rack, we went to cheesecake factory for dinner. it's one of my favorite places :) 

^^so many options. but plain cheesecake will always be my favorite

^^adding sprinkles to the cheesecake only made it ten times better.

 ^^presents :)

^^the watch i picked out. it has GLITTER in the dial. is that not the prettiest thing ever?? lol love this watch so much. it's so unique :) (mA!!)

^^the selfie stick madness continued long after we got home..lol

this year's birthday was amazing. i was so happy to have been able to spend it with my family. i feel super blessed for having them and saad. they all made it so special :)
