This past Saturday night, we had about 50 friends and family members over to celebrate Shannon's 40th birthday. It was a lovely time.
This fancy white chocolate rasberry mousse cake from "Elite Treats" was entirely eaten!!! Shannon had the last piece before bed!!
The house was very beautifully decorated for birthday and Christmas
The massive food spread was attended and managed lovingly by our neighbor Mary, and our mothers, Karen and June.
We cooked over 100 of these stuffed jalapenos.... and there was amazingly little food left at the end of the night!!!
The house was pretty full -- especially when people gathered around the dance floor (dining room) to hear people give little speeches about Shannon
The kitchen was overflowing for the blowing out of candles and cutting of the cake
Our friends the Heinbecks, the Wemyss, and father Kulma
Shannon's parents in the foreground here on the dance floor. We didn't really have too much participation with dancing -- but the disco lights are still up for New Years!!!
The flash doesn't allow you to see the cool lighting effects that we set up above the dining room
This shot is real blurry, but i love the mood it captures with my parents -- and our good friends Hugh and Sandra Evans in the background
This is a grouping of some freinds from our old neighborhood: Judy Hansen, Jena and Philip Bissaillon, Debbie and Bill Wenter, and Letty and Carey Seay
Lynn and Lloyd Simpson are some of our best friends of all time
Phil with Rich Lallasher our next door neighbors (with his lovely wife Karen who took this shot)
The real stars of the show, our other next door neighbors, Mary and Gary Ash --- who prepared much of the food and "carried the night" for us all
