over the weekend...

We had a birthday party for Shelley on Friday night. She is 26...and loving that she is 26!

Bill gave Shelley the greatest birthday gift anyone could ask for...

...a framed picture of the Yellow Box.

So then it turned out that she had trick candles on her cake...that was exciting.

So we played some games and hung out....and John Gutierrez won BOTH rounds of Left, Right, Center, which means he took all our money TWICE. It was very upsetting.

So anyway, Saturday night we got to celebrate Shelley's birthday AGAIN.... by going to the United Center to see...


We were all a little skeptical at first, especially Shelley....


But it turned out to be pretty fun.



And by the end of the night, Shelley was a little more excited.


Oh, and this is what Breanne and I did during the SuperBowl....

Clearly the game was riveting.

And you know it's been winter for too long when you go outside and it's 30 degrees and you say to yourself...hey, it's not that cold today.
