The big birthday bash

What's better than one 30th birthday? Two 30th birthdays and a 28th birthday thrown in for good measure!

I was lucky enough to celebrate my milestone birthday with Kris, who was also turning 30, and Mary, who is a wee child of 28:

In honor of our milestones, we celebrated with an assortment of old-people favorites, from mashed potatoes and Jello to our signature "coffeetini" cocktail (modeled here with Jessica who made the journey from Pittsburgh for the big bash):

Matt also got us some headwear that he thought would be appropriate (if not for a birthday party, then for next year's American Gothic-inspired Halloween costume):

And I don't remember the last time I had a cake with my name on it (Thanks, Arjun!):

Thank you, Mary and Kris, for making my 30th birthday 30 times as fun and 30 times as memorable.

(And thank you for the photos, Arjun!)

1. What in the heck is a "coffeetini?" and 2. Who would have thought that crying, wet, loud baby would have turned out so beautifully?
It's been wonderful! Love you.

There is a photo missing, isn't there?
