22 and 99

This last week, we had the opportunity to celebrate my 22nd birthday and Grandpa Nelson's 99th birthday. I love being able to share the same birthday with him, just 77 years different. We had a party at my parent's house Thursday night. Trina and Kris and their kids came over with mom and Grandpa. It was a blast.

We had really good ice cream cakes from Coldstone-peanut butter perfection! I recommend it to everyone. Fabulous!!!

We also had a cake just for the 99 candles for Grandpa. It was amazing that they fit all the candles on there. It took awhile to light them.
By the time they brought the cake over to the table to me and Grandpa, half of the candles had melted into the cake. It made it even better. (and of course, we didn't eat it-yuck!)
We then blew out the candles on our individual cakes. Grandpa just kept laughing about everything. All the candles to blow out and all the cakes.
We opened presents. I got a beautiful statue from Mama Empey. It was one of those Willow Tree figurines. This was the one of a pregnant woman. It was beautiful.

My mom got me the 2 movies I had been wanting all week-Jungle Book and Fantastic 4-Rise of the Silver Surfer!

My sisters made me a candy posterboard! The sweetest present I got! It was so sweet and had so much meaning behind it. I got to get a picture with all the kids. It was an awesome birthday!

I just had to add this picture to the end. It is my favorite. Eden was playing with the spoon-you can hardly see it but it was the cutest picture and I had to add it.
