|
| When I woke up, Shasta had bought me gorgeous flowers and made breakfast! |
Breakfast was SO YUMMY. |
And she took me out to dinner that night, too. She had the waiter surprise me with carrot cake (my favorite) on a yellow plate. |
A bunch of friends came over for my birthday party! |
|
|
|
|
| Birthday toast. |
Blowing out the candle. Shasta got two cakes for me! |
Shasta decorated my apartment all day while I was at work. ♥ |
She also made me wear a pink crown all night. :P |
|
Halloween |
|
|
|
|
| Our Halloween dinner, and the first jack-o'-lantern I've had since I was a kid! |
I found costumes at the thrift store. Shasta was a circus ringleader... |
...and I was a tightrope walker. I didn't have the time/money to make costumes, but we got these for about $15. |
We went to a Halloween party at Shasta's brother's house. |
|
|
|
|
| Shasta and her older brother, Marvin. |
Me and Marvin. |
Marvin was dressed as Dorothy... he made his own costume! |

Shasta's Birthday - November 12th |
|
|
|
|
| I special-ordered a caramel ice cream cake. :) |
We went to the Melting Pot for dinner. They put roses and a balloon on the table for us! |
The food was soooooo good! And afterward the waiter kindly took a couple of pictures for us. :) |
|
Thanksgiving |
|
|
|
|
| Shasta's family is so big we had to hold Thanksgiving at their local church! The kitchen was huge. |
There were so many people we had to serve dinner buffet-style, with everyone lining up to fill their plates. :P |
|
|
|
|
| We hung out in the meeting room for a while. |
The kids watched Shrek III while we talked. |
Shasta got to meet the newest addition to her family, her baby nephew! |
OMG he was SOO cute. :) :) |
|
|
|
|
| Shasta, her twin brother Shannon, and Shannon's daughter. |
Red hair runs in the family. |
Most of the siblings in one place - Melvin, Jeremy, Anthony, Shannon, Shasta and Jacob. Just missing Marvin and Alan. |
Shasta's dad and mom, Anthony, her birth mom Pat, Shannon, and the two of us. :) |
|
|
Shasta's dad, Anthony, Pat, Shannon, Shasta, and me! |
Shannon, Shasta, and Anthony share Pat as their birth mom. |
|
Christmas |
|
|
| The Christmas card we sent out this year. Took a small miracle to get all the babies to sit still for that long!! |
We spent Christmas with my family at our apartment. It's a terrible quality picture, but it's the only one I've got. |
