Before you begin reading this post I have to apologize for how many pictures you are about to see! I have been celebrating my 26th birthday for the last week! Yes, it does last that long :-)
I headed down to Houston Mother's Day Weekend and we went to Painting with a Twist to celebrate my Nana's birthday! It was such a blast and who knew we could all actually paint?? Here are a few pics from our fun night- if you have never been I highly suggest going! It was very therepuetic!

My sister and I were born 2 days and 2 years apart and we were both born Mother's Day weekend so every year we celebrate together and it is one of my favorite things about my birthday! We went to Spanish Village which is this quaint mexican food restaurant that my parents found back in highschool when they were dating! The food is pretty amazing and it is in the hood! We love going there :) Here we are at the start of the big celebration!
Gotta love Spanish Village!

My sweet hubs and i...
Sunday we celebrated our amazing moms and spent the day with our family. I also got to hang-out with 2 of my good friends from home. Rebekah took me to dinner and dessert and we met Suzanne down at Market Street. I had so much fun seeing them and thier baby boys! We headed back to Fort Worth Sunday night after a great weekend :)
Wednesday which was my actual birthday was such a great day! Ryan and I took off work and he took me to Dallas for a fun-filled day! We went to Medeivil Times for lunch- I have been wanting to go there since we moved here and it did not disappoint! We were given a HUGE feast that we were not allowed to use utensils for- that's right... you must eat with your fingers. Not something I am a fan of but it was so good that I endured it. There was jousting, sword fights, horse tricks and even a love story! After lunch Ryan surprised me by taking me to The Dallas Farmers Market- who knew Dallas had a farmers market district? They do and it is awesome!! We spent the afternoon walking up and down the streets looking at fruit, vegetables, jewelry, jam, house decor and so much more! I loved it and felt like I was on a movie or something. Then Ryan took me to the Galleria- which for me was heaven. He bought me clothes and shoes for my birthday b/c this is what I wanted and I had a blast! After shopping we went to the "Grand Lux" which is such a fun, cute place and the food was great. I just have to give a husband shout-out. I have the best husband in the entire world. Thanks for everything babe!
Thursday night began what was one of the best weekend ever! My besties from college came up to help me celebrate the BIG 26 80's style! That's right... 80's! We dressed up, went roller skating and had the ultimate sleep-over. I have to say it really was totally awesome :) Here are a few of our pics!
Katie and I-post skating, looking tired!

I have to do another husband shout-out. He worked super close with the bakers and had this tubular cake created for me! It was freaking awesome!!
The Decor!
It wouldn't be a party without pop rocks, ring pops, pixie sticks and candy jewelry!
I can not thank everyone in my life enough for making 26 the best birthday yet!! If this year goes anything like the start than I am looking at the best year of my life :) Thanks for all of the calls, texts, emails, cards, presents and making me feel so loved!!
