"It's my party, i can t.p a house and fork a lawn if i want to"

i am 35! (well tomorrow nov. 16th i will be)
what did i do to celebrate?
a SLUMBER PARTY!


friday p.m. to saturday a.m. was spent with these FABULOUS girls, at mama holly's house.
(l-r , couch- mama holly, kathy, michelle, shirin, ruth, julie, cari, christie, barb. floor- sylvia, kelli, mary, me, and traci)

thank you lindsey for this great decorating idea.i made this banner which says, "CELEBRATE."
as you can see i went with an M.E. theme.
slippers were party favors for my guests.

we ate nachos (no diane, i did not share), played "i never," sang karaoke, danced, played speed scrabble, 4 on a couch, and we T.P.'d HOUSES!!
there was one rule at my party- NO ADULTING ALOUD!
there was even a time-out chair for anyone caught behaving like an adult.


saturday a.m. chef michael, and his crew- noah, emilie, and josie, came over and treated us all to a delicious breakfast of; blueberry/apple waffles, french toast, bacon, and omelets with all our favorite fixings! (i know my husband is awesome).
in my opinion, it was the BEST 35th birthday EVER!

i am blessed with friendship. each lady is so UNIQUELY WONDERFUL!! and adds to my life in ways that refresh, stir, move, inspire me.

i am blessed with a loving husband, and beautiful children. everyday with them i am living my wildest dreams.


MY HEART IS GLAD. could you think of a better birthday gift than that!


name that tune, karaoke, and t.p fun!

I'm with Julie. Maybe we can coordinate our birthdays and see how often we could get away with doing this. It was the best!! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
