Happy Birthday, to me!

That’s right. 28 years ago today this adorable baby was born.

I know some bloggers have their blogs ‘hacked’ by family or friends on their birthdays because they don’t want to seem self-obsessed by announcing their own birthday. I think that’s just silly. It’s my birthday, and I’ll shove it in your face if I want to. Seriously, it’s the one day a year that’s all about you. Own it.

How about some younger Chelsea photos to celebrate the momentous occasion of my birth?

I don’t know how old I am in this photo but I’m going to guess 3-4 months. I like how I look like an unimpressed, fat mob boss. And my brother, Ryan, is my track suit wearing hit man.

I don’t know if this is my birthday or my brother’s since I think that’s a dinosaur on the cake, and I was more of a baby doll and Barbie kind of gal. But nonetheless, I’m rocking a mullet. Thanks, mom.

3rd birthday

Ryan and I were in our cousin’s wedding. I wore a pretty pink dress (that I still have), and he wore a tuxedo with tails. It was a fancy, Catholic affair. Check out my awesome Farrah Fawcett hair– definitely an improvement from the mullet. As you can see, Ryan loved being a ring bearer. And notice the bloody Jesus legs/feet hanging in the corner of the photo– gives the photo some dimension.

My 5th birthday. I loved that gold dress, and my Big Bird cake.

Now, let’s take a gander at my 21st birthday photos. Hah. Just kidding.

We’re not doing anything too fancy for my birthday. Brad is taking me out to dinner tonight. My in-laws are coming in this weekend to shower me with gifts. And in a couple weeks we’re going out to dinner with friends to celebrate.

Feel free to break your New Year’s diet and eat some cake in my honor today.

    Happy birthday, Chelsea! I hope it’s awesome and includes at least 2 of the following: excessive amounts of birthday cake, total spoiling by family and friends, lap dance from Mr. Tatum. Hopefully all 3. Have a great day!

    You’re hilarious! The hair do’s our moms gave us when we were too little to defend ourselves, right? I always had choppy bangs, looked like they were hacked with a chainsaw cause my mom trimmed them. LOL Hope you have a very happy birthday!

      I remember one time I had my hair put up in homemade rollers (my mom used a ripped up t-shirt and twirled my hair around that and knotted it) I had a very hard time sleeping with all those knots pressing against my head. But I sure was pretty when she took them off!
