Katie's big 19th birthday palooza!

(alright so here's a huge load of pictures) HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE COTTRELL!! so for katie's birthday on the 16th, we had a fabulous no-school/birthday dinner/partay day! Katie went home for the weekend so tamori and I decided to decorate our place for katie's birthday. it was perfect not having there so we could totally deck it out! When she came home on monday, we surprised her with all the decorations, a birthday cake, presents and her favorite flowers! We then went to dinner at Macaroni Grill ( delicious ) there we dined on their amazing bread, and kalamari (sp?) aka SQUID! It was tamori, katie, me and scott that all went to dinner. (scott came because he works at chili's, which means he gets a 50% discount at Macaroni Grill...cha ching! and we also love the kid :) ) later everyone came over for our chocolate fountain buffet! We had two chocolate fountains going, one white chocolate and the other milk chocolate, strawberries, bananas, cake bites, marshmallows, pretzels, cinnamon bears, rice crispy treats etc! and of course to top it all off, BIRTDAY CAKE! Katie has the best roommates ever :)

katie definitely got it the worst!

she had to take a shower right after this, her hair was CAKED in icing...and cake! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE! i LOVE you girl! xoXOxoXOxo

girls + superbowl...

yes...we here living in 324 had a superbowl party. and yes we watched the game...kinda! seeing that we had no side to cheer for, no idea what rules were what, a late night before (i had to wake up to drive my parents to the airport at 430 am :) ) so we only made it through the 1st 15 minutes of the game before we all fell asleep! all of us being katie, me and tamori! but we did happen to wake up for the last 2 minutes...which is the most important part of the game anyway! so way to go steelers...even though i was cheering for the cardinals ( go nate! ) it was a pretty good day! we had 7 layered bean dip thanks to mom, multigrain chips ( DELICIOUS ) strawberry mango juice, veggies and dip, and cupcakes decorated for the steelers and cards!

a whopping total of 52 cupcakes

the ones on the right are the steeler cakes! then we got bored so we decided to decorate some with our initials, stars, stripes, dots..etc :)

the party! katie tam and me!

cardinals vs steelers (of course we weren't about to draw a bird out of frosting for the cardinals..so we just did C's!)

katie and tamori cheering....this is totally a candid shot :)

steve and matt joined us later to help us eat all the food we had!

of course cam..being from pittsburgh, enjoyed eating his own teams logo
