more pictures from the birthday party....

My birthday cake was an Oreo cookie ice cream cake!  It was delicious!!  Couldn't forget the big "50" though....

Thanks so much Chris and DJ, for spending my birthday with me.  You guys are like family to me.

...and to Michelle and Annie - thanks for coming, and thanks Michelle for keeping me in line (and not writing on my face with fingernail polish!)

and to Debbie and Danny - thanks for the "Chip n Dales".... that was special!

and Trina.... thanks for putting up with all of us and for staying and celebrating my birthday with me.  I love you girl!

and most of all THANKS to Betty and Dave.  Thank you for making my 50th birthday something that I will remember (with a smile!)  Thanks Dave for not "dogging" me the whole weekend (and thanks Betty for keeping him in line so that he wouldn't "dog" me).  I love you all so much.  Thanks for making my birthday a very special day.

My Birthday!

Some pictures from my birthday bash in Nashville on Monday.

Smyrna, Tennessee

This is a picture of "downtown Smyrna" that I found on the internet.  I just got back late last night from visiting my best friend in Smyrna, TN for my birthday.  I love going down there - and hate coming home.  They had a 50th birthday party for me and decorated the patio outside with "50" banners and we celebrated with Beer Can Chicken for dinner and an Oreo Ice Cream Cake.  I had a wonderful time, and turning 50 wasn't near as bad as I thought it was going to be.  :)   Thanks to ALL of you for a GREAT birthday! 

With my co-workers celebrating my birthday last Thursday and Friday at work, and the weekend in Tennessee, I really did celebrate my birthday for almost a WEEK! -- what a GREAT start to my 50th year!  Now let my 50th year BEGIN!!  (click to see my "50 by 50 List" , everything that I want to do this year!)

Visit my blog everyday this week for pictures of my 50th birthday bash in Tennessee!!

I love you guys!!
