Birthday #30 for CarrieAnn!! (Part II in the birthday week series)

Birthday week was great. My family made my birthday so much fun.

On the actual day, my parents sponsored a birthday dinner for me at the Garden on top of the Joseph Smith building, since they couldn't be here. I loved the food an the atmosphere.



While waiting for the food, my cute date consented to a sassy photo shoot. What great company!





That weekend, Matt threw a birthday party for me. It was fantastic. He had our house all decked out in birthday decorations, and he made great snacks. I saw friends I hadn't seen in ages. (Thanks Matt!!!!)


Here is me in my birthday gear--crown, glowstick necklace, 30th birthday blue ribbon--pretending to be the birthday queen (the balloons were my loyal subjects).


Alan and Maren, a necessary addition to any great party


Mike, Kellie, Lukifer, and Matt. Doesn't get better than this.

A slight snack mishap. These tricky mini corndogs came back to haunt us about a month later when a forgotten batch of them were found in the oven, burnt to charcoal!
