One Month & a Week Ago Today

Ok, so by the title you probably already kind of have an idea of the time frame. ;)
So a month and a week ago today, my sisters (they planned the whole thing!) and parents got together with some friends and threw me a surprise birthday party.
It was amazing and I was totally surprised! They did such a great job! :D
I had such an amazing time and I hope everyone else did too!

So, anyhoo, I now have pictures from the party thanks to Sarah and her brother Nathaniel who she let borrow her camera for a while during the party while she danced some too. Thank you both very much for taking so many fun pictures!!

Ok, I hope I don't overwhelm this post with pictures, but I wanted to share some with you all.
They aren't in order, near the bottom are pictures from the beginning of the the evening. :)

Lining up for the last dance

Duke of Kent's Waltz

David was being a camera "hog" & James, John, & I had to jump in too. ;)

I think this is the 1st dance, & I looked through pix again & I am pretty sure now this is "Comical Fellow". :)

Everyone took a breather to eat some yummy cupcakes!

Grace & David as the head couple in the "Virginia Reel"

The Virginia Reel was so much fun! :D

Ok, so my sisters told me I had to post a couple pictures from my birthday photo session.
So begrudgingly, er..um... I am posting these pix for them. :)

If any of you hadn't heard about how they made the surprise party such a great surprise and how they got me there without me knowing why I was there, they planned a photo session for me!
So Sarah asked me if we could do a photo session for my birthday (the plan was to make it look like her idea), and when I asked my mom what day of course she said "how about Sunday after church?" So Sarah picked me up and we went to the Lilac Gardens in Woodland and then to the gazebo in La Center. Then Sarah said she had some people she had to meet at the church in La Center, so we headed over there.
Once we got there she said she wanted me and Naomi (one of her little sisters who came along) to come in with her so she wouldn't be by herself.
And then of course we walked threw the closed doors and "Surprise!". Boy, was I surprised!
So that is how they got me to come to the party without even having an idea why I was there!


Hope I didn't overwhelm anyone with all these pictures! If you made it this far I congratulate you! ;)

Oh, and today is the first day of Spring!! Huzzah!! I'm not excited or anything here. :)

Have a great week everyone!
