40 and loving it (even 10 days later)!!!

Hello everyone!  OK, yes, I stink at posting lately... sorry!  I have had such a great month - my 40th birthday, Thanksgiving, and seeing family and getting ready for the holidays!
~*~*~*~*~
I got "Flocked" with 40 pink Flamingos in my front yard for my 40th - such a FUN surprise!!!  My folks came down, and we had a nice quiet dinner Friday night (my birthday) and then Dennis (and Lucia) had a really nice party for me at our house on Saturday night - such fun to celebrate!  Although I still haven't crossed the 200 threshold, I look and feel SO much better than I did when I turned 30!  (or 20 for that matter)...
"Feather you like it or not, it's your 40th Bird-Day Sarah!"
The day before my birthday, we had some family pictures taken - I had bid on the sitting at a charity event, and finally got around to using it - and they turned out wonderfully!!!  Although sometimes I look at myself and see how much I have to lose, I do see how far I've come in these pictures!

The family...

Liam - trying to get out of the gate...

My two babies...

Lucia - no clue the picture was being taken...

Me, and my Dad (and Liam)

Dennis and me...

The session was fun - love seeing the pictures, and not being horrified at what I look like!  And then last night, we went to our neighborhood's Holiday Gala... which was really fun and I loved being able to wear a size 14 cocktail dress!  All in all, life is good.  Definitely need to pick it up on the weight loss front, but I really love where I am in life right now.  40 is wonderful, and I have a great family and wonderful friends to continue the journey with!
