Birthday Suit

... You didn't really think I was going to post pictures of myself in my birthday suit, did you?


I probably say this every year, but I truly felt that this birthday was by far the best (I turned 22, for those of who you asked). I spent the night of the 12th (my actual birthday) surrounded with my family - we ranged in ages from 1 to 86! My beautiful niece Jasmine sent me a message on the day that said: "Happy birthday Leia, hope u enjoy your day. Hope u wear some thing sparkly like normal tonite. Love, J." Isn't that adorable? Of course I had to oblige, and wore a sequinned skirt!
On my second night of birthday fun, I had dinner with four of my best girl-friends. It was such a fun night - we spent the night laughing so much that our stomachs were in stitches and tears were running down our faces - and I can't even begin to tell you the thoughtfulness that went into their cards and presents. Just thinking about it is tugging at my heart-strings!
Anyway, enough of that - I'm supposed to be showing you my outfit! These pictures are from Day 2 - Girls' Night - and of course I wore something appropriately sparkly!

Mini-skirts aren't so scary if you're wearing tights!
