My 35th birthday--2 weeks ago

Both sides of the family came over our house to celebrate my birthday. That was special. I enjoyed having everyone here. We ordered pizza (4 of them and had about the equivalent of one left). There were 18 people here in all. My family brought my dessert called "Donna's Brownies". It has a layer of brownie on the bottom, then a layer of melted marshmallows and then a delicious chocolate layer (like thick frosting) on top. It was very yummy. Mike smelled it and wasn't even tempted--too much chocolate, so you know it was good!Clayton blew out my candles before I could. He was remembering Jesus' birthday 3 days prior and since Jesus needed help blowing out His candles, he thought I needed help, too.

The candles were lit again so I actually had a chance to blow out my own candles.

Jenelle and Shannon made things out of clay.

Jess and Ethan were here, too, I just didn't have a good shot of them.
Thanks for a great birthday everyone.
