Thank you all SO SO SO SO SO much for all the happy birthdays!!!
Saturday (pre-birthday fun)
i came home to this!
went swimming as a family at the local indoor pool
drove 40ish minutes to dallas to hit up my favorite whole foods for lunch!
Sunday–the actual day!
My parents surprised me with a hot air balloon ride!! My dad came along for the ride with me since my mom was scared haha We got so lucky–some people in our group had been waiting months for a nice day to ride. It was 28 degrees, no wind and perfect flying conditions! Really cold, but REALLY fun!!! I even get to check it off my bucket list!
airing up!
gettin ready to fly!
it was so clear and beautiful!
my dad and i before take off
After a hilarious and bumpy landing, we headed back home and my parents gave me some presents! I almost cried at the card they gave me, I love my family so much 
sweet. potato. butter. THANK YOU FATHER!!!!!!!
a new watch from target from my mom!
a new sketchbook, fish themed bowls, and a hungry girl recipe book from my parents and grandma
It was the best birthday I could’ve asked for! I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Oh my gosh! That looks sooooo fun!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY PRETTY GIRL!! I hope (and it sure seemed like it) you had the most amazing bday ever!! Wish you lots of happiness, health, and success
P.S. Hot air balloon? What an AMAZING idea
GAH! I don’t know if I could ever go in a hot air balloon, thank you fear of heights! Happy Birthday though!

:)
Happy belated birthday! It looks like more than any girl could dram of, I bet you felt quite special.
Gotta say it again: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I’m slightly scared of hot air balloon rides because my Dad went in one and it malfunctioned – sent them on a roller coaster ride instead of a hot air balloon ride to say the least – but I know that’s not normal so it’s good to see a success!!
OMG SWEET POTATO BUTTER. I want that with peanut butter NOW!
Happy late B-day !!!
Someone had a lot of fun =) The air ballooon seems so freaking cool, I’m glad you had a blast !!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
That’s sooo cool that you went on a hot air balloon ride. I’ve always wanted to do that.
I’m glad you enjoyed your special day! Welcome to the world of being 20. We’re not teenagers anymore! So weird, but exciting. (:
Happy birthday Alex!!
Hot air ballooning looks like it was amazing!! What an awesome way to bring in a new decade

Sounds like your parents did an awesome job this year
Wow girl, the hot air balloon ride sounds like SO much fun. I almost had the chance to ride in a hot air balloon when we visited Albuquerque, but it cost an insane amount of dough, so we opted out.
That sweet potato butter looks amazing! It seems like nowadays butter can be made out of anything,
Happy birthday again! Glad you had such a good time. How lovely of your mum and dad to get you the balloon ride (love the pictures) and I like your bucket list… I’ve been to Anne Frank’s house but not done any of the others… I think I might have to write one!
So cool that you went swimming as a family too; your family sounds great
Hey! I recognize that sweet potato butter. That’s some Oregon stuff. (: Happy birthday again by the way. The hot air balloon ride looks awesome. I want to do that.

I’m so glad you had a nice time, you totally deserve it!
God bless! <3
Wahoo, happy birthday again! Your family is AWESOME. Riding in a hot air balloon sounds really cool, but I’d totally start crying because I’m paralyzingly scared of heights. Btw, the ruins in Pompeii are amazing!
That is awesome!!!! I’d love to be in a hot air balloon. cool….and elmo balloon?? hahah you and Logan would get along.
I didn’t know how to wish you a HB yesterday so I left an extra comment like a nerd
Happy Birthday!
Looks like a wonderful birthday! You are so brave! I would be sooo scared to go up in a hot air balloon.
That’s so cool that you got to ride in a hot air balloon! I’d love to do that someday, hopefully when it’s warmer though
I’m jealous of your Elmo balloon and the sweet potato butter. I’ve gotta keep an eye out for that!

Yay, happy birthday, and welcome to being in the 20s! I can’t believe you flew in a hot air balloon! That’s incredible! I’m scared of flying in even airplanes, so I don’t think I would like it at all. In fact I think I would pass out if I had been in that balloon haha! Have a great Monday
