my birthday

Wanted to thank everyone who came help celebrate my birthday.  I always love a good reason to have people over. :)

I also want to thank Mike for helping the kids pick out my new jacket (love!), for getting me more root beer syrup and for putting together the slideshow.  I know he spent a lot of time on the slideshow and it was really neat and special.  Had no idea there were that many pictures of me.  I enjoyed seeing all the old ones with us and the kids growing up.  I've been very blessed over the last 35 years... I'm so very thankful.

Here are a few pictures...


[our crew : )]


[the cake decorator - great job Rachel!  it's hard to see, but it says "Shauna is 35" and it's decorated with festive M&M's - loved it!]


[me getting some help... Kate was also there, but out of picture range]


[my mom, Nevie, Nate and my sister]


[me and the kids]

I also have to point out one thing I noticed during the Packer game last night that stuck out to me.  One of the Lions' receivers made a great finger-tip catch and along with replaying his great catch they also replayed the reaction of excitement from the receiver on the other side of the field.  I noticed it immediately... they never show reactions of other players like that and I have to think it's because it doesn't happen too often.  I feel like a lot of the players on the field mostly care about what they do individually.  I know, I know... I might be wrong, but I really believe this.  The other receiver seemed genuinely excited for his teammate ~ which I don't think happens a lot.  It was great to see!

Have a great week and keep smiling!
