We actually celebrated my birthday on the 15th, since my 2 best friends (since elementary school) and their families were flying back on my actual birthday. It made it seem like I had a whole birthday week! We may have started the celebration by pouring some Puerto Rican run into our coconuts...just to see how it tasted! (Verdict: Heavenly!)
Since we have a ton of people coming and going during these two weeks, every family picks a night to make dinner for everyone. For my birthday we had the wedding planner at Maria's (who is also a chef) cater our dinner and she made me the most amazing cake ever. It sparkled. Exactly what any mature 25 year old would want!
{Not pictured: 3 of the cutest baby nuggets you ever did see!}
On my actual birthday I set my alarm for 7, grabbed a towel and went straight by the water to start getting my sun! After a lazy morning (with mimosas, of course) we meandered up the road to the lighthouse where they had a food festival! Some things I never say no to- fresh markets and food festivals! We walked up with 2 of the 3 babies and they had so much fun dancing to the music!
I, on the other hand, got a sneak peak at what I'll look like as a South Florida soccer mom! Haha!
That night was perfection with burgers, dogs, rum punch and a sunset like no other!
After dinner the only thing to do was head up to Calypso Cafe, just a stone trow from Maria's and have frozen cocktails and listen to the band!
It was the perfect way to spend my birthday. A whole lot of friends and family...or "Framilia" as we call it now! I'm so thankful I had so much love around me during my celebrations. I can't wait to see what 25 has to bring!
I love how your top and nails match your cake! Happy birthday!!
