Happy Birthday to Me

My birthday (while a couple of weeks ago) hasn't been forgotten.  Highlights below....

Brett is a sponsor of the Revel Rad Racing youth cycling team and their annual dinner spaghetti buffet was on the night of my birthday.  Here I am with 100+ strangers eating a spaghetti dinner in Kent, WA (of all places).

Not sure when I had a plate of spaghetti...never been one of my favorite meals.  However, if I am eating burgers now, who am I to complain?

An honor to have 100+ people sing me Happy Birthday...a gesture to Brett for his sponsorhip and dedication (shown by bringing his wife on her birthday to the annual spaghetti feed).  It was great to see what Brett's help has done to allow so many kids to enjoy the sport of cycling!

Brett more than made up for it by taking the kids away and allowing me 3 glorious hours to myself to sew at home (that is when I made the bibs for Karen's new baby).  Here is a picture he sent to me while he was out with the kids running errands. 

My birthday celebrations continued with a Birthday Brunch the following weekend.  Natalie hosted a ladies only brunch (no kids!) and it was perfect.  I loved the time with the girls, I loved the way she spoiled me with creativity and kindness.  I cannot outdo her blog post for this event so check here: http://www.gossettgirl.com/2012/01/birthday-brunch.html

Party favors included the most adorable sewing kits to share my love of sewing with my friends. 

Natalie, Marisa, myself, Kirsten, Ashlie and Julie - thanks for celerbating my birthday with me!  And braving the winter driving to and from.

We enjoyed our girl talk too much until one of the husbands called and said, "I think you should head home, it hasn't stopped snowing for 2 hours".  In hindsight, wished we had gotten that call a bit sooner.

My birthday cake of donut holes!

Natalie continues to show how thoughtful she is...flat shoes to go along with my new wardrobe that only includes flat shoes.  Thanks!!
