My Birthday Week

My big 2-6 fell on a Friday this year, which was nice because I don't teach piano that day. My birthday week started out last weekend with my Mom in town and a little birthday shopping.

Then the next week, a night out with the girls for some yummy Taco Surf, Paradise Cookies, and Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Not to mention some fun presents as well :) Thanks girls!

On my birthday, I of course went to Disneyland. For those of you that don't know. Everyone gets in free this year on their birthday. If you already have a pass, then you have the option of getting a DL gift card for $69, fast passes for you and 5 other people, or the option to get in free on your birthday in 2010. I opted for the gift card. Luckily I was able to stay in a good mood. To make a l-o-n-g story short, I left my house at 9:30, got home at 4:30 and only made it on one ride; It's a Small World. It was a whole lot better because I was there with fun friends, and I got a whole stack of fresh tortillas from the Mission Tortilla Factory :)

Later that evening, after a power nap and a quick shower, we met up with Justin & Stacy for some BJ's and a free birthday Pazookie.

Brighton was an angel for me all day as my birthday present, but figured after midnight it was free game to wake me up as much as she wanted. Oh, it's a good thing she's cute.

My birthday week ended with a family bash at my in-laws. Complete with fun presents, the famous Christensen "Happy Birthday" (hopefully video will be released soon ;), and a Chocolate Cake with Rainbow Chip Frosting.

Brighton had a blast with all of her cousins, aunts and uncles. She was in heaven!

Happy Birthday to me! I am very very spoiled.
