spoil me, please!

here's a few things i got for my birthday :) i already showed you the necklace from dylan in the post before (love it!--i'm wearing it in the pictures)

 enough with the photos, let me tear in!

that's an apron i'm wearing..can't wait to put it to use! plus, the cake pan in left hand is a giant cupcake. it's definitely going to take some practice to learn how to decorate something that's got ridges and swirls, but i sooo can't wait to try it.

he also got me a candle i've been eyeing forever, a fred glass 'baggie' and cupcake pan, except they're not cupcake shapes, they're small rectangles..so i'm not sure what to call it. but it could be used for anything; mini cakes, brownies, whoopie pies..

because she's a princess (who wouldn't stay still and made it very hard to get a pic)

sunday morning we went out with my parents for my early birthday breakfast, since i wouldn't see them monday (my mom probably hates this picture because of what the weather did to her bangs and the fact that she was sick lol)

2 rings from my parents-from blue banana market  in kensington market. the crystal one is made with a Swarovski crystal ..it shines pretty in the light :)

then i got 2 weights so i can actually start doing a little bit of workouts with my arms lol (a whole 3lbs!). i debated picking out the 5lbs, but i'm really weak and i didn't want to get them too heavy that i couldn't even use them..so this way i can work my way up (saying 5lbs is too heavy is kind of embarrassing haha). and i got 2 martini glasses which the stems of them are tall pink poodles haha they're cute (my mom loves 'spaghetti poodles' and these kind of look like them. anddd i still have to pick out a new watch i want from my parents, i just haven't found one yet.

yesss i got FRED stuff!! the unzipped and cakewich are from dylan and the stacked cup and paris bread press are from my parents ..eeee happy! 

 2 things put to use! i wanted to put m&m's instead of cinnamon hearts, but i didn't have any; i just had hearts laying around. it's probably a good thing i didn't put m&m's in, i would be eating a jar full every 2 days..yikes.

overall, it was a great birthday! cupcakes, books, friends, dylan, crowns, jewelry, fred, family, breakfast etc. 23 definitely feels older than 22 to me, but maybe that's just me. the past year has gone by so fast that before i know it, i'll be turning 24, and then the big 2-5. life certainly flies by.

♥have a good wednesday (how are we half way through already!?)
