Best birthday ever! Quick back story, over the last few years I've turned my life around and I have so much to celebrate this Halloween. Mostly that I will be 30 and can say I made it out of my twenties alive. I have always loved my Halloween birthday, but this one has already been the best one yet. So I told my Santa that life was crap then it got worse then it got way better than I could have ever hoped for. I didn't know what to expect, what they would come up with.

I received my gifts a few days ago. There is a small chance that in my eagerness to see my surprises, I tore open the boxes with my bare hands. I was told there were five gifts and notes with each. I love them all and maybe cried a little. First I found a Happy Birthday To You book from Dr. Seuss, perfect. A box of 90's candies, lots of my favs here. A TWO pound box of Sour Tape candy, hahaha score. Some kind of folded thing...a t-shirt maybe? It has a sticker and it's a...no way, a Boba Fett apron?! Oh my god yes! I never knew I need one and now I have it! I'm so unexpectedly thrilled with this item. The last thing was in a separate box. Donning my new apron I opened it to find a box of funfetti cake mix and a tub of icing, too perfect!

Thank you Santa C! I couldn't find you username on anything though so be sure to comment so I can give you proper credit. You did a wonderful job of adding to my birthday celebrations.

Your gifts in action:

I was informed last night that my SO was planning a surprise birthday dinner for me...when he invited me to the facebook group for it. I don't know if he wanted to cheer me up after a bad day or if he was just so excited he couldn't hold it in. Either way, it's adorable and so sweet of him and it was really cute how proud he was of getting friends together. Now I have a gathering to make and share my funfetti cupcakes at. I found a good sale on cake decorating stuff on the way home from work today and turned the kitchen into my mad scientist laboratory. And that is why it has taken a few days to post some pictures.

I would also like to add, I know I am an adult because when I opened the boxes and saw the air pouches my first thought was "awesome I can use those on the next exchange!" instead of "I wonder how loud I can pop them."
