  • knives and explosions, that's my kind of birthday :)

    birthday

    I got completely spoiled just like I do every year. My sisters all came to the house and my family was all there. My grandma made me a polka dot cake and bought me a massive bag of chips (like the party packs) with some money. If you didn’t know, I am a chip hoarder. My little sister made me bracelets. I’m really happy that she still does because that is what I ask her for at every Christmas and birthday. I love them, and the fact that she makes them for me herself makes them even better. They are just about the only jewelry I will actually wear. My mom got me a cute card and some cash. Jenna has been trying to shop for me but I have been difficult ;) Me and Alexa never buy each other birthday or Christmas presents on the actual day. We just wait til we are out together and just buy things for each other randomly throughout the year. You never know what you’ll get from her or when you’ll get it. It’s a fun surprise every time. Brooke and Andy got me throwing knives :D I am so stoked about this, you don’t even know. I’m getting a knife launcher now as my next addition to my weapons collection. Then it will be a crossbow. My stunt coach is going to be in heaven with all the new toys we have to work with. I start sword fighting next week which is cool. I got some really sweet notes from friends and fans and a lot of birthday wishes. The fans sent me a new pajama set, dvds, lots of gift cards, and a purse. I skipped dinner but it’s my birthday so I can do that. We went to the fireworks. I thought we were far away because someone was shooting them off a few blocks away but Nick picked a spot right directly under them. When the first firework went off Lexa jumped on Nick and almost knocked his chair over, Brooke jumped on Andy and nearly broke his nose and I dove into my sleeping bag. They were lighting them in the parking lot right in front of where we were sitting about 20 ft away. They had some really cute ones this year. There was one that was purple and gold with lots of sparkles and Nick said “look that one is Andi” because when I die they are going to turn me into a firework. That sent Brooke into a fit of giggles. The fireworks are really loud up close but I love the sound it makes when it echoes off the mountains. Everything is so loud and you can feel it in your stomach and in the ground. It’s kind of scary but fun too. Nick says 27 sucked but it’s been good for me so far ;) I think it’ll be a good year. I told him to let me know how 28 is.
