But enough about me! We were thrilled, and you don't know how thrilled we really were, to get to spend some time with Tara. She is such an amazing, beautiful, smart, special person. She is one of those people who is beautiful on the outside and on the inside; and if pride isn't an issue for you...you can admit that deep down part of you wants to be like her. (Plus, she has great cheekbones and the cutest haircut.) So we laughed and talked and told lots of stories about our kids. I am still laughing about some of the things our kids say and do. So, lets check out some of the pictures from the night:
Tara blows out the 3 candles on her "cake." I am still not telling how old she is. (although the 3 candles could be a hint. That is, if I were hinting. And I'm not.)
Yeah Baby! This is birthday cake Simeons Protocol Style! Yeahhhh--eeewwwww.
Erica says, "you really expect me to eat this? What exactly is it?"
Tara, Erica, & Leigh chat with Shannon & Kim while I have my face behind the lens.
Tara finishes opening her presents and cards and we prepare to have tea!
Oh my goodness. We trashed Kim's perfectly clean kitchen! Look at this mess! And there were no kids around to blame for this one.

And our last video for this post is a re-enactment of Tara's Birthday song. (No animals were injured during the making of this film.) Special thanks to the cameo appearance from Conner, and thanks to Shannon for the fancy camerawork, too.
We had a wonderful time with Tara. We hope there are many more times like this ahead! We love you and your sweet husband and kids, VERY VERY MUCH!!!!
