There is NO contest....

...I have THE BEST husband in the whole world! :)

Friday was my 35th birthday and we took the day off and went to Old Tucson Studios (I'll get those pics posted soon) and spent the day then had dinner out. It was a nice day and lots of fun and I thought that was the end of my birthday celebration.

Tonight we had Steve and Stephi over for dinner and Kevin insisted we eat outside. After dinner we are sitting around the fire pit and talking and friends and family start showing up. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Kevin had contacted everyone two weeks ago and invited them to a party for me. He told the kids, but not me and they were able to keep the secret! Amazing...especially if you know my kids. :)

Karalee was gracious enough to make my cake(s) and they were delicious...a white cake with coconut and a chocolate cake with oreos...YUM!

Blowing out my candles...thank goodness for numbers instead of 35 actual candles.
Part of the cakes...Karalee did a beautiful job and I wish we had gotten a better picture before they were eaten.

I'm the birthday girl...so I got a little taste of both. :)
It was so much fun laughing and visiting with all the wonderful people that we count as friends and family. I feel so blessed and thankful for where we live and who we are surrounded by. Each of these good friends and family members make life heaven on earth. :)

I'm so excited for you that you had such a fun birthday. A surprise party would have been so fun. I turn 35 next month myself.
I didn't realize we were the same age. Enjoy 35!!

Happy late birthday! I wish we could have made it, those cakes look delicious! My brother's a great guy to put that all together...what a man.

Uhhh, I wasn't the birthday girl, but I tasted both, too. Oops :o). They were delicious! I was just making sure. It was so fun to come over and visit with everyone. Happy Birthday to one of my favorite people.
