21

this is a little late but anyway.. the day after thanksgiving was my 21st birthday!

it was great to be home with family, and what i thought would be a low key day

but if you know my mom, you know she's got something up her creative sleeve...

she threw me a little surprise party!

(although she didn't do a good job of keeping it a surprise for long) 

things like going to the grocery store with her and her buying a lot of one item more than usually,

and talking to Sue and hearing her say Cate was sorry that a lot of people where out of town...

and then i started to put the pieces together and she couldn't hold it in much longer.

when i walked into the house this is what i saw

(my very own first bike!)

test driving it

don't be fooled people...that purse.. is my cake!

my cousin corey made me one of his famously creative cakes, he did such an amazing job i didn't even know it was a cake!! i almost reached out to pick it up! not only does it look good, it tastes amazing!!

my mom made these adorable sugar cookies for me... a perfect girly theme: high heels and purses

it was such a fun day! thanks to everyone who made it perfect and came to my party!

i love you!!
