30 is big. I mean, it's monumental. Right? It seems as if you've reached some kind of milestone. A kind of turning point. So, if it's a big, monumental milestone of a turning point then it deserves to be celebrated in style. No?
The weekend started out with the arrival of the majority of my Missouri family . . . you can't turn thirty without your twin sister by your side! We did the family thing at my cousin's house for dinner and were joined by a few honorary Hallers (you know them as Ian and Gigi). Have I mentioned that my cousin (and cousin-in-law!) make freakin' awesome margaritas? If so, it bears repeating: my cousin makes freakin' awesome margaritas! The juiced up tequila was occompanied by equally awesome guac and fajitas. Ian, did you eat your weight in fajita meat? Not judging, buddy. I think I drank them out of house and home:) Little sis Sarah made our b-day cake and it was enjoyed by all. But, Julie may have enjoyed it a little more than others!
The next day we headed over to Norma's for a little breakfast - yum, yum. Norma's is most well known for their biscuits. Cousins Steve, Julie, Max and Sam discovered this place for me - I'd lived right down the street from it for 3 years and never dropped in! Below is our pictoral tribute to Norma's. God bless the biscuit!

This morning we had a birthday brunch at Erica and Travis's house (Thanks guys!). It was a beautiful fall day filled with family and fun . . .

It has been the perfect birthday celebration weekend. Thanks so much to all my family and friends who put such effort into making it special!
