MY 28TH BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! #birthday #birthdayparty #barbecue

Transcript

Come with me to the most insane birthday patty that I have ever thrown. The theme of the patty was hot dogs and hamburgers, and I think I nailed it. Look at this balloon display right when you walk in and the barbecue birthday cake, And look at how amazing these cookies are. There was a lot going on at this patty. We had all kinds of rank, soda, beer. We made the jungle juice, which was the biggest hit at the patty, by the way. All kinds of good, sweet meatballs, appetizers, potatoes, salad, bunch of different kinds of wings. There was a lot to do. I did an auction. Everybody took 10 tickets. You write your name and your phone number and there were four different baskets you could enter. It was an electronics basket, a Louis Vuitton basket, a men's basket. We also had a caricature artist, and everyone was obsessed with this. He is so talented. There were little popsicle sticks with me and my dad's heads on it. And then we had the Mee and Mee photo booth, which takes the best pictures. Photos are the best memories. And stay tuned.
