25th Birthday Bash

For my birthday this year I wanted to mix things up a bit.  Typically, we go to dinner with friends and have cake and ice cream at the house. It's enjoyable and doesn't take too much planning. This year I decided to host my own murder mystery birthday party.  It was tons of fun, but also tons of work!  Cooking for 20 people didn't scare me at first, but it was definitely more work than I anticipated.  Thankfully my wonderful husband and one of my dearest friends, Scarlett helped out with the party details, cooking, etc.  I wish I would have gotten more pics at the party, but it was just kind of chaotic that night.

My coworkers are the best! They got me a 9 inch Pyrex pie pan with my name on it!
