My golden birthday

Guess who's golden birthday it was?

(And for those of you who aren't familiar with golden birthdays, a golden birthday is when you turn the age of the date of your birthday.  So I turned 28 on the 28th of December).

My mom read about celebrating golden birthdays several years ago in a magazine (I think.  Or maybe I just made that up.) and decided she wanted to do it for all the kids.  I am the 4th of the 5 kids to have my golden birthday.  (My mom didn't calculate very well because within the last year, 3 of the 5 of us have had our golden birthdays.)

And with a golden birthday comes presents wrapped in gold.  There were a lot.  28 to be exact.  28 golden presents from my parents.  

Alayna was in heaven unwrapping all those gifts.  

A picture of the golden birthday girl wearing some of my gift from Alayna and Brylen.  How did they know I wanted a Happy Birthday crown and a Happy Birthday necklace?

And the loot.  This girl was spoiled!
