Thriller 2011

We decided to take the guys with us to Thriller this year. We had great seats...WAY better than last year! It was amazing as usual and I think the guys even liked it!

Our original seats had this weird riser at our feet. Our knees were up to our chins. We moved closer as soon as the show started and we saw some empty seats. Lucky it wasn't sold out or the guys would have died!

Corey and Jacci

Autumn and Bryan

Thriller wouldn't be Thriller without our traditional "scared face photo"...even Cor joined in.

Murder in Sin City

Jacci and Corey hosted another Murder Mystery Dinner this year. This time it was 1960 Las Vegas. Jacci outdid herself on the decorations!  Cor was in charge of all of the gambling games and the prizes. We had a delicious meal of chili and rolls for dinner, cream puffs for dessert, and a bar with jello shots, sparkling cider, root beer and Mountain Dew martinis. Every one had a fake cigarette and we ran a fog machine to give the casino a smokey affect. We had such a good time playing black jack and craps and solving the murder. Everyone was dressed perfectly making the voting extra hard! It was so much fun...

Most Fabulous Birthday Cake EVER!

I have the greatest job in the world! I get to be at the school where my kids are everyday AND I get to work with some AMAZING people! My friend and office coworker Holly is the hardest working, most patient, sweet, giving person that I know. She is always doing for others...so of course she went all out for my birthday. Holl's sister Jana is an incredible cake decorator and got together with Holly to design this fabulous cake which included all of my favorite things! I was so surprised!

Me and Holly

Of course it was pink...my FAVORITE

Pearls, french fries, Dr. Pepper, candy corns, purses, shoes, jewels.....

Let's not forget...books, and bowling! (LOVE the PINK bowling ball)

and last but not least my all time fave...POPCORN!

A little scary that Holly knows SO much about me. Hoping it's because she just pays attention and not that I talk too much! :) Happiest birthday ever! Thank you Lakeview friends!
