and who knew getting older could be so darn fun?

I'm 32 today!! Who knew getting older could be such a party?

Mom and Dad drove down for the day to help James and I celebrate my birthday. I was doing a special 365 for the occasion (complete with party dress, pink fizzy drink in a martini glass, party hats, faux gems, and party blowers) and we thought: Hey ... why couldn't we all get in on the photographic action?

So we did. What a blast!! This one was easy to choose for my 365.

    Happy birthday, fun girlie! I'm glad I'm getting this comment posted when it is still technically your special day on the West Coast. :)

    I'm glad you had a great day. Looks like you and the fam had a blast together. So glad they could be there to celebrate you.

    Happy Happy Birthday! Love the pic! So I have to ask. Do you have a wide assortments of backdrops that you're using now, or is this some of the magic that DSLR provides for you?

    @Sarah
    I suppose you have a good reason for being a little late to the party, considering you gave birth 4 days ago and your world is all topsy-turvy and new right now!! Thanks for stopping by to distribute the birthday wishes!!

    @Travelmom
    Thank you so much!!

    @Dillie-O
    Thank you so much!! The background actually is a product of some photo manipulation. We had a white background and then I added in this effect. Perhaps I'll write a post on how I did it!!

    @Rebecca
    Thank you for the birthday wishes -- it was definitely a fun one!! I added the background effect after the fact, which you've probably already read in my response to Sean above. :o) I think I am going to write a post about how -- I can't believe how easy this stuff is!!

    @Abigail Jasmine
    Tee hee!! Thank you so much -- I think getting silly like this from time to time helps preserve our youthfulness. I do declare, it is great for the skin!!

    Thanks for the birthday wishes!! :o)
