Anne Turns 288 Months

Danny: "Because my birthday is in the summer, it's nice outside, we have a little bit of extra cash, every year we go crazy. And then when your birthday rolls around in January when it's cold outside and we just spent a ton of money on Christmas you say 'Danny, just get me some stale bread.' 'Danny just buy me some toilet paper.'"

And he's right. We are still trying to figure out how to be responsible adults over here. So this year, once again, I got stale bread and toilet paper.

But its cool. Belle's birthday is going to be one baby dreams are made of.

Met Lauren and Grey, Rachel and Sam, and Meredith for Chicago foodies' favorite doughnuts.

Belle approved.

Then enjoyed a phone call with my family after opening the package they sent.

Tim! I don't want to be a part of this!!

Had a Google Plus Hangout Party with my BFFs. Over 3 time zones. The big screen alternates showing whoever is talking. When we'd laugh it would alternately flash quickly on each of us. Amazing.

Went to Belle's music class. Belle must have known it was a special day because she didn't take a nap all day and was a maniac. This picture was taken as I chased her around the room.

Afterwards, we arrived home to a clean house, fancy take-out, and more phone calls from family.

Oh for me? Wow thanks.

Goodbye 23. Let's see what you've got 24.

Glad the big ol' pregnant lady is the huge one on the screen shot...happy birthday old lady, I think you just get more fabulous with age (as if 24 were old...).
