Well, Happy Happy to you!!!! Hope you have a great time!
My best bday... well, its tied between my 10th where my mom talked my grandfather to have a party at his country club and have a magician and clown there.
The other one is my 30th where we had about 20 of us at Dylan's candy bar. We got a chocolate fountain (yum), all you can eat candy, and a decorate your own sundae. Needless to say, we were all on a sugar high after that, but everyone still remembers it. ;)

Happy Birthy to you!!!! It would have to be celebrating my 40th birthday in Disney World. Had so much fun and had dinner in the castle and I got an extra dessert - chocolate princess crown - yummy along with a set of champagne glasses to mark the special occassion. That was a good vacation and birthday. Hubby surprised me and bought me a gold mickey charm on my birthday. Yes I'm a huge Disney fan!!!!!
So far everyone's comments have been about tame birthday celebrations...since we've been friends now for roughly 15 years I'd say that any birthday I've spent with you my darling friend has been wonderful.
Even if some of them included me sliding down the bathroom wall at Houlihan's at not even 10 pm. ;)
Somehow I was blessed beyond blessed to end up with such wonderful friends.
I love you my darling friend. And we'll celebrate your birthday properly after the wedding festivities are all said and done.
SMOOCH!
(oh and don't count me in on the candy since i was lucky enough to win the last time!)
love you madly...
xoxoxo
Happy birthday to you! I have to say my favorite birthday was the one when I turned 30. Friends and family came from all over for a weekend of fun, barbecue, and of course, cake! Or the one when I was living so far away from my family and my fiance (now dh) flew my best friend in for the weekend and we got to go to a Dave Matthews Band concert. Thanks for sharing!
Hmmm... am I horrible because I can't think of a great birthday?? I'm just happy when my husband remembers and I don't have to make my own birthday card!! lol
the day I turned 18, I celebrated by moving out! I have not done anything since but it was that one that meant the most-I could vote, drink, and live by myself. Woo hoo!
My favorite birthday was my 21st birthday, I spent a super fun night out with family and friends at Wrights Chicken Farm.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
My favorite birthday was my 21st when my {now} husband took me to Las Vegas for the first time. We had a blast!!

My favorite birthday was my 21st. It was a huge surprise party at my college. I received a dozen roses from a secret admirer. Never did find out who sent them for sure as I graduated a month later!

Happy Birthday. One of my best birthdays was last year in Disney World with my hubby, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters. There's nothing like the Magic Kingdom!
My best birthday celebration was for my 30th birthday. I told my husband that I he'd never be able to pull off a real surprise party, but he did! It was amazing...and very embarrassing to walk into Red Robin and have a bunch of my friends there to wish me a happy birthday!! waldee@juno.com
wow....what a great "gift"...Happy Birthday!! I think one of my best birthdays is when my hubby gave me a surprise party and ALL my friends were there...it was soooo fun and so nice to see all my friends care!! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOANNE!!!!! I'm certain you're younger than me! My DH surprised me on my 40th with a party. All my friends and family were there! LOVED it!!!
Happy birthday to you! I think MY best birthday celebration was this last year. My parents were visiting and so my hubby and I got to have a weekend away by ourselves and left our DD home with Nana and Grampy. We went to Barcelona, and had an incredible time. My bday was spent walking along the beach and eating Paella down there, then having an incredible dinner in a 12th century castle. It was perfect!!!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!
My best birthday? I have two! The one when DS #1 was born 10 days earlier, and I was able to snuggle a new baby on my birthday, and the next year when DS #2 was born two days after. Blessings, blessings!!!
Happy Bday :)! I would have to say that my Fav. bday, would have to be the time my dh took me to some chalets. Beautiful chalets in the valley, on top a beautiful mountain...beautiful weather too.
Happy Birthday :)!
Happy Birthday! I think my favorite celebration so far is this year and my birthday isn't even here yet, but I am having a countdown on my blog and it's so much fun!!!
My favorite birthday was one where I was an adult and my grown daughters and husband took me to TGIF's and unbeknownst to me told them it was my birthday. The came and sang and tied balloons all over me. I had balloons tied to strands of hair, on my fingers, around an ear and just everywhere you can imagine. I had to walk through the restaurant and through the mall like that. It was really more funny looking back at it than that night as I was a little more than embarrassed.

Happy Birthday! My best bday was my 25th - my now-husband planned a surprise bday party for me with my mom and my girlfriends. But he surprised them all by proposing to
me at the party!

My favorite birthday celebration would have to be when I was about 4 years old. Yes, I can still remember it well! My grandpa put on a pig roast just for my birthday (which was a big deal since they didn't have that much money). When my birthday came around, tons of people showed up for my party and my grandfather was bewildered and surprised to see so many people come. Little did he know that I invited half the town to come to my "little" party! I'll never forget that day!
My best b-day ever would have to be my first with the love of my life. Now my husband, he makes me forget that every year I am actually a year older. Our relationship keeps me young. staarn3@epix.net
is past year my husband took me back to our college...we went to a baseball game, dancing, and just hung out. it was great! i love going back there! :)

Honestly- I don't know that I have a favorite birthday celebration but one birthday I will always remember was when I was younger my family didn't have much money and my parents still wanted me to have a nice b-day. So, they packed up my sister and I and drove us to my grandparents- they didn't tell us where we were going and we were almost there before I realized.
Happy Birthday- I'm loving seeing your work with PP- you are inspiring me to get busy!
Happy birthday to you. My best b-day was when I was 18 my mom gave me a card which she wrote all the things she admired and loved about me written inside. Have a great day!
Happy Birthday ! The best one's I have are when my family is all together to celebrate.

Happy Birthday! I'm a big birthday person, so I always take off work, do something I like, you know a "me" day. My best ones were when I was little and mom did it all for me though. : )

Happy birthday!
I'm not sure what I'd consider my best birthday celebration... one that I enjoyed immensely, though, was when a bunch of friends and I hit the local comedy club for an evening out. It was so fun!
Well Happy Birthday to you and how sweet of you! I had fun doing the same thing on my birthday this year too!
My fav birthday...hard one, but it might have been my 30th when I got a whole bunch of friends together at this Afghan restaurant and we sat around on the floor and drank and ate and laughed! Then we went back to a friend's place and they'd made me a cake that looked like a blackboard (I'm a teacher!). Fun!
Cheers,

So SO glad you were born, Jo!! And thanks for including us all in the celebration!
I loved my 30th birthday celebration at a fancy restaurant in Providence with friends and then a night in a hotel with my hubby. Great to be away from the (then) kid...although we did get up early, scarfed down room serve and flew home because we were nervous to be away from her! :) Ah, if I had the chance now...
Happy Birthday to you!!
My best birthday was 2 years ago when my husband and I were able to take a cruise (without the kiddos)!
It was a very special time!
Blessings,

Happy Birthday Joanne! I actually have a birthday week just to make sure I get the full treatment.
I mean if your real birthday falls on a Monday and everyone is too busy or tired to celebrate, that stinks, so I stretch it out and pull the ole "I get my way cuz its my birthday week." (Trust me, getting my way ONLY happens one week out of the year, so I have to enjoy it.)
Enjoy your birthday week!
I haven't really thought about the best one, but I guess you could say when my mother threw me a surprise 40th party the week before my birthday.
and, the year I turned 22 was the last birthday i had with my father who passed away 5 days after at the age of 41.
My best b-day celebration was when my nephew spent two weeks in August with us when he was seven or eight. We don't have childern of our own so he is kinda my surrogate kiddo.
On my b-day he woke my husband up early and told him he wanted to buy Aunt Kathi a present. After breakfast the two went shopping. The gift was wonderful but the story of how it came to be touches me to this day. He refused to use any money from his uncle. My nephew used all his own money, about seven bucks, and picked the earring/necklace set out all by himself. I am tearing up right now because of his unselfish giving and just plain old beautiful heart. He's almost 13 and has, of course, changed a bit. But I will always have the memory of that little boy, big eyes shinning as he handed me that small package. He was so proud he bought it with his own money and chose it all by himself. Nothing can ever take that memory from my heart and I cherish it every August 16th...my birthday.
Happy Birthday. My boyfriend, now husband took me and my closest friends in a hummer limo to this fab middle eastern restaurant for my 30th birthday. We had a fabulous dinner and were entertained by belly dancers. It was loads of fun.
Happy happy birthday! I've enjoyed reading your blog for some time now. I hope your birthday is filled with lots of happiness and love. Thanks for the chance to win such wonderful goodies!
My best celebration was for my 30th. My DH planned a surprise party and ALMOST pulled it off! It was great nonetheless! Thanks for the chance to win. And Happy Early Birthday!
An early happy birthday to you! My most favorite celebration was my 42nd birthday. My husband wrote me a birthday poem, pampered me all day long, cooked me dinner and baked me a cake. A birthday to remember! Thanks for the chance to win! Hope you have a fantastic birthday celebration.

happy early birthday!!
my best birthday memory was when my husband threw a beach bbq party... he cooked tri tip and chicken and pasta salad and side all from scratch! he even made his famous bbq sauce that he makes from scratch. everything was DELICIOUS and the time with friends was precious. :)
thank you for sharing with us on your bday!
Best birthday celebration would have to have been the sweet 16. My mom was addiment that I was NOT getting my learners permit, no matter how hard I pleaded....but low and behold, there in my bday card was the signed paperwork for the permit....I was on cloud nine! :) Oh to be back to 16 again, knowing what I know now of course...LOL
I hope you enjoy your birthday. Celebrate safely!

Happy Birthday!!
My birthday falls on December 1 and we've made it a family tradition that our Christmas tree goes up on my birthday. So instead of it being my birthday (which isn't so good), it symbolizes the start of the Christmas season (which I love!) I really enjoy pulling out the Christmas decorations and putting them on the tree. We normally have Christmas music playing - it's alot of fun!

What an awesome gift!!! Happy birthday! My b-day is close to Thanksgiving. So my best celebration was going shopping at the butt-crack of dawn the day-after Thanksgiving! I love to shop and I love to save money, so it was an excellent way to spend my birthday!! Thanks!

Happy Birthday to YOU, and thanks for a chance to win such a nice gift. I really can't think of a favorite birthday. I have enjoyed them all as I celebrate them with my family.

I would have to say my best birthday was my 28th birthday. That was the day that my oldest dd was born. I am a twin so I already share a birthday with someone but having a dd on my birthday was extra special.

My 2006 birthday started out pretty bad because I was in the hospital having surgery. But it was also at the same time as the NFL football playoffs. I lay in the hospital bed watching the division playoff and our team, the Seattle Seahawks, won their division & for the 1st time was going to the Superbowl! Then to top it off, my son was able to get tickets to go to the Superbowl & was on our local news station talking about the game. I watched him on TV with several of my sweet nurses, and it was the best birthday I ever remember:)
