Party time

We had a fun family dinner/get together last night at Jeff and Eliza's. Eliza fixed dinner and made me a cake for my birthday. I am being humble and displaying my age here: Eliza was so nice to do dinner and cake for me. Here I am as everyone was singing a lovely "Happy Birthday to you"

The boys got into a rousing game of Risk. Luke was upset when we said we needed to go and the game wasn't done. That game goes on FOREVER!
Dan and David enjoyed Chases i touch. It is pretty cool, I have to admit.
Mia should be in trouble for this. She was not supposed to be jumping on the bed!
Chase and Luke eating on the floor and checking out the i touch.
Elizabeth and Jacob. Jacob got passed around quite a bit. He is such a happy baby!
Windsor and Mia making beautiful music together. Thanks Jeff and Eliza for having us, and for helping me celebrate my birthday! so let's see. .. 36 things that are great about me. .. . (just kidding)

Happy Birthday Kristie. I'm sorry I'm late with a card and gift. I've been thinking of you today though.

I'll provide 3: you're easy-going (you never once gave my moody teenager self a chewing out that I'm sure I deserved many a time), positive & always trying new things. 32 to go!

ok, my turn: 31: you are so dedicated with your excercise routine. I was always impressed you would get up early to go. 30: you are very good with money. I know I need to learn how to do this better, Bob would LOVE it if my spending habits were more like yours :)
PS:
Happy Birthday, I gave something to mom for you so hopefully you got it and one of these days you will get a couple surprise boxes in the mail, I just have to get them in the mail!

Well the pressures on for me to add another 20 or so. Here you go:

You are humble. I know you are just dying that everyone is saying nice things about you.

You are a fantastic reader

You are great mom

You are a superb dancer -- not quite as good as David & his tryouts for "So you think you can dance" but good none the less.

Your a great friend who cares deeply for others. You are a person who would do whatever you could to help a friend. I'm glad I can call you a friend.

Happy Birthday!

PS I think you should go jump on the bed too -- your still young!

Hope you had a great day yesterday! I'll keep adding to the list.

You make me laugh. (usually at times that are not the best time to be laughing....like sacrament meeting) :)

You are fun to hang out with. I miss living so close to you and being able to come and just hang out with you.

You have great faith. I've always looked up to you for how faithful you are and your faith in our savior.

you're the one that got me into Twilight! I'm not sure if this is a great thing about you or a thing I should curse you for. (just kidding)

Love you!!!

You are bringing up my grandchildren in faith and provide a wonderful example.

You pray with your children before they leave for school.

You appreciate any service done for you.

You are my daughter!

Love you - dad!

Kristie, glad you had someone looking out for you on your birthday. You are a young 36!

You look great, but don't fuss too much about spending money at the high price stores. You are happy shopping at Ross, and TJ Max. I know you love a bargain. Your kids are doing well because of you and your dedication for doing the right things. Keep it up. Sometimes you probably wonder if it is doing any good. But, believe me, it will pay off in the future.

You are a wonderful daughter.

Happy Birthday, Kristie! It looks like you had a great time with David's family. We will have to celebrate next month.
There are way more than 36 great things about you, but here are some of my favorites:

- You are optimistic, even when things are hard
- You are honest
- You give good advice
- You are a hard worker
- You are fun to hang out with

love you!
