My 40th Surprise Birthday Party

I guessed that my mom and dad were coming up from Sussex, but I had NO idea that a bunch of neighbours, and relatives were going to show up! What a surprise when at 4PM (when I was just about to head upstairs for a nap) a whole group of people came in the door! Yes I was surprised and shocked!

The food was great! I found out later that Pete had made the call from Ft. St. John asking my mom if she could get a bunch of people together for a party on my 40th Birthday. That was 2 big surprises from him this year... a preplanned day at the Spa and then a Surprise Birthday Bash! WOW!

My birthday make-over

Pete dropped me off at a Spa in Newcastle on Friday afternoon around 2:30PM... I wasn't finished until just after 7PM. It was a long day of pampering... massage, facial, pedicure, manicure, hair and makeup! What a day! Sadly we didn't get a picture when I first got home, oh well! It was a nice surprise, and I enjoyed my day!

Fun times with the fox!

This one is a little too timid... doesn't want to come as close as the one below...
