i'm gettin' old peeps... i'm getting old...

So I requested the weekend of my birthday off awhile back (probably at least 3 weeks prior) and luckily I was granted the weekend off! I had to work on Veteran's Day which was Friday the 11th, which happened to be super busy :/ but I was going to get to see Tony after work so it made the day more bearable. Tony drove up to spend the weekend but he was saying he would probably have to leave early on Sunday since he has work early on Monday. Not going to lie but I was a little disappointed because I had wanted to go to The Grove to watch their Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony which wouldn't be starting until 7:30p and Tony would probably be gone by then. So far I had only planned brunch with my friends but I wanted to spend the day together since everyone is super busy these days and with the holidays coming up, it's even harder to get everyone together. But, he ended up staying until Monday so that we could see the Christmas decorations at Disneyland so yay!

Anyways, I was so happy that my birthday actually landed on a weekend this year! (although it did land on Saturday last year so I'm not sure I was so much more excited this year lol). We started of Sunday by heading to Jack & Jill's in Beverly Hills. For smaller parties, I'd opt to sit outside and people watch... and car watch lol. There are so many nice cars in this part of town! Since we had a party of 10, we opted to sit indoors.

Here's some food porn. I ordered my usual Chicken Pesto Panini.

So I think I'll have to break up this birthday post into 3 separate sections because for some reason it's not allowing me to upload any more pictures lol. Part 2 will be from The Grove and Part 3 will be from Disneyland! 

Thanks for reading so far!
