Go Shorty, It's Ya Birthday...

And yes, we did party like it was all of our birthdays. I'm going to go ahead and apologize for those of you who may now be unable to remove the "classic" 50 Cent song "In Da Club" from your head after reading the title of this post. Rest assured though that it is perfectly appropriate for the summary of my sister, Kirby's, 21st birthday celebration.

After our visit with Cody's family in Houston, we headed over to College Station to begin a day fully focused on Princess Kirby. We ate a yummy lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, La Bodega, and then Mom treated us to pedicures at a rather entertaining nail salon. (Ask us about that experience later-- it's a great story.) After being pampered for a bit, we ate a tasty dinner that Mom so graciously cooked for Cody, me and Cale, as well as Kirby's 3 roomies and a few others. We were all stuffed but definitely saved room for a delicious birthday cake and a few cocktails. After all, we had to ring in her 21st in style! Kirby's roomies were so sweet to decorate everything for her and it turned out so cute. Brace yourselves for the pictures though-- there's a LOT of pink (which of course I loved)! We had so much fun celebrating in Aggieland and wouldn't have missed it for the world. You better believe we got some great dancing action shots, too.

I must admit, it's still hard to believe that my baby sister is old enough to "enjoy Northgate" now. It seems like just last week she was begging me to play house and baby dolls with her, and I would only settle for Barbies! :) Love you, Sister!!

And the dance party begins...

Had to end the night with a visit to the Dry Bean. Thanks, Northgate!

Of course the weekend flew way too quickly, but we are anxiously awaiting the next TX getaway. One thing is for sure- Aggieland always delivers a great time!
