A really fun day.

Today my hubby through me a party. 28 friends and family members, good food, pretty cake,balloons, and lots of talking and laughter. We both did a lot in preparation like cleaning up the house and yards.Tensions ran a little high before the party. Each of us having different ways to do or get ready for the occasion. Plus dealing with family members that want to be a part of the planning and organizing, can throw things for a loop also. It can seem overwhelming and never ending. It all ended up real nice and we all survived. Our backyard is our party place. Our house is very small, but we have a huge backyard and large patio. It's ideal for gatherings. Our dog was in his height of glory, he loves gift bags. He runs around with them on his head and then shreds them to pieces. Good for some serious laughs. Everybody seemed to have a good time and I have now officially kissed another year goodbye. I really appreciate the efforts made to make my birthday special.

Now, the party's over and we kick back, drink coffee, watch tv, and blog.

It was a fun day.
