Anna's Birthday Bonanza!

Right before our anniversary weekend, we went to Anna's 22nd birthday party.  Her birthday is actually on May 3rd, but she had a joint party with her roommates Dallas and Shelby who also have birthdays in late April/early May.  It was a fun night, and Cory made this awesome mini cupcakes, which were a huge hit.

Shelby's family has an awesome house in Provo with a great view of the valley.  They set up badminton, horseshoes, and croquet, had tons of burgers, shish-kebabs (meat and fruit varieties), chips, and drinks.  It was just a really relaxed atmosphere, which are my kind of party.  Here I am honing my badminton skills.  

Here is the birthday girl.  Go get it diva.  

Here is Anna with...one of her friends.  I don't know who she is, but Cory snapped this photo while they were posing for a real photo with the other girl's camera so it was funny.  Good job, Cory!

They also had a photo booth area where you could dress up and take pictures.  We didn't really utilize it like we could have, but I did find a fake mustache, and we found out that an increase in facial hair can either make you look mysterious and debonair, or hideously ugly and repulsive.  You be the judge of which picture goes with which description.

  

The sunset was pretty awesome that evening though, and provided the perfect backdrop for pictures.

Cory and I both agreed that our role at that party was to be there for Anna as family representation, find a place to sit and camp there for the night while people-watching, and taking pictures.  We nailed it.  Cory did an awesome job of capturing some classic and candid moments.  Here are the girls blowing out the candles.

 These are just some shots of the CRAZY action at the party.

More partying...

Here are their respective piñatas that each successfully destroyed.  Anna's is the unicorn.

If those pictures aren't enough for you, here is a video of Anna's conquest over the unicorn.
