Big 4.0. Party

Can't believe it's been so many years! I am truly blessed to be surrounded by those I love and admire. Kevin was amazing at keeping the party a secret, as was Brooke, Shannah, Michelle and Mom. It was so fun to see Norm and Allyson White, Grant and Susan Boice, Terry and Cindy Knight and Mom and Dad Johnson. Thank you all for making my day so special! I really couldn't have planned a more perfect birthday for myself. And thank you again for the AMAZING European chocolate/fruit cakes. Still craving them...

Royle, Kevin and Norm White... great to see old friends!

The Thompson Girls at my big 40 surprise party! It was so much fun, and I was genuinely surprised, with all my favorite people at a beautiful location on the water and amazing weather. From left to right, Michelle, Mazzy, Grandma Bonnie, Colleen with Lily J., Brooke with Sarah J. in front, Bethany J., and Shannah.

Finally, Camping slide show!

Here are just a sample of our pictures from our super fun camping trip to Yosemite, CA. It was beautiful weather, and the campsite was up out of the valley in the mountains, so it was cool and gorgeous. We all had a memorable time, spending quality time with cousins Ryan, Cameron and Kevin, Aunt Audrey and Uncle KC, and Grandma Suzy and Grandpa Royle. So sorry we missed Darren and Courtney and young cousins by just a few hours! We left covered in CA dirt but with a new love for the land and people!
