I wasn't looking forward to turning 35...sounded old to me, I am no longer a "spring chicken!" But I have been so showered with love from family and friends that this birthday week hasn't been bad at all!
I started my week off with getting to spend the day in Seattle with one of my best friends, Abby, and her family. Our families had a great time taking in Seattle Sites.
We spent the next night at our friend's lake house, where they showered me with birthday love- 35 reasons they love me, thoughtful gifts, a campfire, and fun laughter!
On my birthday-day, we headed to Olympia, for a special dinner that my mom hosted for family.

| Auntie Judi gave me an apron that Gramma June had made right before she passed away...I love the polka dots!! |
 |
| Everyone loved reading to Payton! This little niece of ours already knows her letters!! Amazing! |
 |
| We should just call her Happy Feet, since she does the cutest happy dance so often! She is such a joy to be around! |
 |
| A birthday board that my mom made for me! |
 |
| The sweet thoughts my mom read to me before we ate dinner! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful mom who loves celebrating her kids! |
And can you believe the fun didn't stop with this dinner?
The next morning, my mom took G and me for a pedicure, and then I got to spend the afternoon with another best friend- Jenni- lunching on Thai food and going to a movie!
I am one lucky girl to be surrounded with so much love.
