Welcome to your mid 20's
Why does 24 seem so old? 23 was nothing. What is so different about this year? Is it because I now have a kid and no longer are birthdays all about me? Even on my birthday I still have to make sure a mouth is fed and happy. Don't get me wrong I still love it. Maybe it's because this was the first year that I wasn't in school or at work with people walking by my desk wishing me a happy birthday. Not that I am upset or anything about it, I still had a great birthday, it was just the first year that I felt old.
My actual birthday was great (Obviously I try to drag it out to be birthday "week"). Em and I slept in and then met Baker for a yummy sushi lunch. I think it was so good because it was my first time eating it since I got pregnant with Emmy. After lunch we went shopping.. a bit disappointing. When I was in line checking out all I could hear in my head was "House in '08, house in '08 do you really need that shirt?" I didn't buy anything. We had dinner at my dads and an ice cream cake, my favorite. 
Celebrating with all my friends was a blast. My favorite restaurant is Benihanas, and unfortunately they don't accommodate a party of our size. Lucky for us there is another restaurant nearby that has the same type of deal. Matsu's. I am in love. They had the best Filet ever. 
After dinner we obviously headed to Gay for some frozen yogurt.. why wouldn't we? And what better way the end the night then a huge hilarious round of "The Name Game". A classic. 
My birthday actually extended into yet another week with a lunch with the girls, AKA Kay, Reese and Emmy. And then again today with this kick A package from my sister. An Apron, a wonderful book and the cutest magnets. I love it. 
Thank you everyone for making my birthday so delightful!

Happy Birthday Jenny!
happy birthday Jenny! I love all the pictures on your blog! Thanks for choosing not to make it private, I'll admit, I love checking out your blog!
Jenny your B-Day dinner was so fun! The food was awesome. And, you are NOT old. 25 feels way older! Call me soon and we'll plan a hang out.
i feel the same way about my birthday now that i have kids. oh well, its funner seeing how happy birthdays make them though. do you think you will still be in hb in a year? we are planning on moving back in a year. i would be fun to play with the girls.
i had no idea it was your birthday. happy birthday!! sounds like you had a lot of fun though. oh, and please don't complain about age at 24. :) ah! you have nothing to worry about.
Happy Birthday Jen!! Man I would do anything to be 24 again. I had a major meltdown at 29 last year. Talk about old. You look adorable as always, and Em is such a sweetheart and getting so big. I love her.
Sounds like you had a good birthday! I'm going to be turning 28 next month, but I still haven't felt too "old" yet...
Bake,
This is Mauri(Gubler) from the Trolley days. How are you? I found your blog through Katie Hoffmans. Your baby girl is adorable. I'm glad to see that you are doing well.
Happy Birthday!!! It looks like you celebrated right. Nothing makes a night quite like GAYS :)
PS. If you think your mid-twenties are rough... just you wait!
Happy B-day from the Harbers! We looking forward to seeing you guys in February.
Happy Birthday! It looks like you had a great Birthday. I turn 29 next month...yikes!
I wish we lived closer so we could have been there for your big day. I loved all the pictures you chose to post. I love the one of you and Em and how she is trying to grab the cake it looks like. I miss that little NUGGET. It was great talking to you yesterday. Miss ya!
Happy Birthday Jenny! It looks like you had a great birthday and your babe is adorable!
i think you deserve a birthday month!So run with it Boo!!!Love you tons sweet sister of mine. I miss you tons today!
Happy Birthday!
I always tell Adam that birthdays when you are older don't seem like a big deal, but they are actually much more important. It's the one day I want to indulge myself after a full year of doing something for everyone else.
I've also learned that I have to make my own day great. So I treat myself to good food, a new outfit, and pure laziness. It's great!!
Hey, I may be coming to CA, but won't be teaching a class. I will be doing photoshoots if you are interested? Let me know!
Jenn. You are still a baby. 24, gosh, seems like so long ago, even though it was only 3 years. HA HA. Looks like you had a great birthDAY and week. :)

Jenny, you have got to be the cutest girl I know! Congratulations and happy birthday!
Happy B-day Jenny! Your a gorgeous 24! And a beautiful mother. I know what you mean though. I turned 30 this year. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Glad you had a nice birthday! Happy Belated Birthday! xoxox
happy birthday, jenny! i know, aren't birthdays just another day when you have kids? i was happy to celebrate mine in england this year, but still... little boy needed his birthday treatment too! (b-day treatment every day of his young little life!) you look so good and emmy is just growing up too fast, sweet little girl. i am getting so excited to have my baby girl! can't wait to dress her up!!!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Even if I did find this blog past the date!!)I am glad you had a wonderful birthday. . . . It is true though, once you have kids it just isn't quite the same. Not that you want it different, it just isn't the same. I am glad you still had a good one though. you have some awesome friends and a wonderful husband.
Happy belated birthday!!!!
Also. I know you were interested in Julie Tanners photography, yes? She is going to come out here in May to do a shoot for me and 5 of my friends. Are you interested? If so email me and I will let you know all of her details. I am still looking for 1 or 2 more families to make it profitable to make the trip out here.
