birthday party for cc-face

Well..thank you Sterling for giving me more hits than I have ever had on a Sunday in the history of Busy Bee Lauren. Who knew?
For those that are interested in him, I have compiled a list, and am now accepting slots for interviews...by me.
Oh...and to the person that said they wanted more pictures of The Tedward to look at...I am a little weirded out. kthanxbye!
-----------------------
This weekend was full of happy things.
{1} taking photos on a lovely afternoon - - srsly, the weather was amazing!
{2} eating pizza on paper plates - - my fav.
{3} getting my hair did by my mama - - chattin' it up the whole time.
{4} creating a birthday present for a lovely lady - - who is my fav.
{5} snuggles with The Tedward - - our anniversary is almost here!
{6} shutting down Lauren's Bite - - feeling the weight lift from my shoulders.
{7} family parties at the "Face House" - - amazing.
--------------------
This particular party was in Sierra's honor, because she is turning 21!
I volunteered to bake the cake! (don't worry, I left out the weavles)
I was so inspired by this post on my blog friend's blog, I had to make it the theme of Sierra's Strawberry Shortcake!

There was pink pink pink everywhere!
I made pom-pom poufs to hang from the ceiling...
My mom pulled out the pink tablecloths she made for my wedding...
And of course we had to pull out the antique china...duhspice!

Along with a gift certificate for Sierra, I constructed a headband for her.
Yes...the tutorial is coming :)

After a yummy feast of steaks, grilled by Ty (the only steak I will eat)...
We chilled at the house for the rest of the evening.

But not before we sang to the birthday girl!

Sierra is my very best friend.

I love her so so so much, and I am so blessed to have her as a sister.

Happy Birthday CC-Face!

Now, everyone wish my favorite girl a happy birthday!

Everytime you mention Sierra, I just think she sounds like the most darling sweet girl. You are indeed very lucky to have her as a sister.

Happy Birthday, Sierra!

Also--Lauren, I'm glad you're doing things with your life and time that make you happy. That's what matters. I'll miss Lauren's Bite but really I'm just glad it helped me meet a friend like you.

'Happy happy birthday from all of us to you, we wish it were our birthday, so we could party too! HEY!!!!'

You go girl! The BIG 2-1!!

Crissybug said...

What a fun weekend. You guys really know how to throw a party. I am bet Sierra felt really special.

I applaud you for making priorities in your life. I will miss the funny tidbits from Lauren's Bite, but am sure you will still profess your love for Twilight on here from time to time. You are so fun to read and have such a zest for life. I love it. Thanks.

Rad Rachel said...

Lauren- Ps I'm so sad I don't get to read Lauren's Bite anymore. That website kinda helped me become obsessed too ha. BUT I'm SO MUCH MORE HAPPY YOU'RE RELIEVED!!!! I was actually going to suggest in your last post (your online time one) that you maybe close a blog... but I didn't dare! Ya know, incase that was not even close to an option!
you rock. ps. :)

Karalee said...

I was sad to hear your Twilight website is shut down but in the scheme of things...your happiness is more important than anything else!! It's all about PERSPECTIVE!!

I've been reevaluating a lot of things in my life right now, especially after your debate on internet time post! It's ok to have internet friends but I don't want to put them above my husband and real life. Anyways, thanks for the reality check! Good luck with balancing things out! :) ....hugs....

Rugergirl said...

Since I found you from Lauren's Bite, I will be sad that it is gone. On a better note, I am glad you will have more time with Tedward and the fam!

Karen said...

Happy Birthday CC!

What a great cake! You are so creative!!

Jen said...

Happy Birthday Sierra! (you look beautiful BTW)

I'm so sad about Lauren's Bite, enjoyed many good times there.

If someone requested more pics of my hubby to look at I'd be weirded out too, but it made me laugh!

LOVE me some pink!

That headband is awesome!

Uptown Girl said...

Happy Bday Sierra!
I didn't know you shut down Lauren's Bite! I will miss pockey Edward, but I'm happy for you to have a lighter load. Balance in life is key, so I say: WELL DONE LAUREN!
the end.

Connie said...

Happy Birthday Sierra! I just found out you shut down Laurens Bite and I was sad... but totally understand!! I'm glad you feel better now!
And... that headband is the cutest thing I've ever seen!

Evan said...

Happy birthday Sierra!

Lauren, great job on the cake! And OMG, that is one of the cake stands on my wish list (http://buttercakes.squarespace.com/blog/2009/8/7/all-i-want-for-christmas.html), which makes me super jealous. ;)

Shayla said...

Happy Birthday to your DARLING SiL!! I hope my brothers marry girls who will be as great of sisters to me as you are to Sierra! You guys seem like the sweetest! Super cute cake & headband Lauren ♥

Stacy Dean said...

Happy Day of Birth Sierra!!!

The cake is fab. As are you.
And big move on the shut down Lauren, but I like it! Way to put your life into perspective. Plus we all love having lighter loads. RIP.

Love the hair too! I just got me highlights re-done and isn't it great! Roots can be seriously scary but voila! Back to blonde bliss.

Midori said...

Good for you for recognizing you were spreading yourself too thin before major meltdown time! Too many people try to juggle too many balls in the air they don't appreciate what they have in the present. Happy Birthday to Sierra & good luck finding a worthy lady for Sterling!

Stacey said...

Your hair looks super cute!

Happy birthday to Sierra! I'm glad you have a sister who is a friend as well. My SIL is my bff,I don't know what I would do without her.

I love that cake and I love Sierra.

That is all.

LIndsay said...

I am sooo sad that Lauren's Bite is no more...it was a nasty shock. However, I am glad that I got to enjoy it for a while, and I hope that you will occasionally post your thoughts about Twilight on this blog, since it is a part of your life. But glad you get to spend time with Tedward.

staceface said...

That cake looks amazing! You bake, sew, take pictures, and blog. Wow you are one talented individual! You're posts definitely always bring a smile to my face.

Happy Birthday to Sierra!

(so....are you serious about this interview thing?? haha geeeez I sound desperate)

Shannon said...

Although I will certainly miss it, I am really proud of you for closing Lauren's Bite. I suspected you might do that after your post about how much time we spend on the internet. You've got to do what's best for you and your hubby/family, and you've done just that! Glad that it made you happy, too! :)

Laura Sue said...

love your hair btw!
