As most of you probably know, I LOVE birthdays, so I was looking forward to mine for quite some time (although I tried not to be obnoxious about it haha, hopefully I succeeded). My 27th birthday fell on a Sunday this year, so the whole weekend kind of felt like a celebration to me. On Friday, one of the families I nanny for got me a scone for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and a gift certificate to our favorite bar/pub in Boulder. I was psyched, and so grateful. It was very kind of them to think of me. On Saturday, we started off the day by going to REI's garage sale and I got some socks. I know, so super exciting haha, but SmartWool can be expensive, and they were cheap :). Then we went to our friend Kelsey's graduation, and afterwards had a really nice brunch, just the two of us. We were super hungry and ordered basically the whole menu ha. After brunch we headed back to REI where Tim got a new snowboard that was actually one he had be thinking about getting, and I got a really nice sweater that was originally $135 for $19.83, I'm a sucker for a good deal. That night we babysat for M, and M's parents gave me a Le Cruset pot! I LOVE them and have wanted one for a long time, so I was pretty psyched! It's beautiful and red, and we are making stew with it this weekend. My amazing in-laws sent me Mint M&Ms (my fave), beautiful earrings, and a cookbook. My wonderful parents sent me beautiful flowers and a birthday balloon. I. AM. SPOILED.
So, after all the fun pre-birthday things we did, on Sunday we were planning on heading up to Breck to go skiing. We stopped and got a Moe's bagel and Starbucks, and then headed up to the mountains. Breck had gotten almost 2 feet of snow in 2 days, and so for my birthday I was treated to my first Colorado powder day. It was amazing! I had the best time, and was giddy skiing in all that snow. The only low points of the day were getting hit in the head with the chairlift and the four hours that it took to get home. Other than that, best birthday! All I can say is that I think 27 is going to be a good year! :)
And now for some pictures:
