When I posted a few months ago about Amanda's birthday party my sister-in-law, Jenny said that she wanted a treasure hunt and a chocolate fountain for her birthday too. Well, you better be careful what you ask for because it just might come true! While in Lovell Jenny had a pretty significant milestone hit, her 30th birthday! I know, she looks too young to be 30, but it's true! As many of you know Matt is out of the country for a few months and so he was not able to come to Lovell with us or be with Jenny on her b-day, so we put our heads together and tried to come up with a way to make it special for her anyway. I remembered the comment she made on my blog and our plan was hatched, and it included a treasure hunt and a chocolate fountain! Matt wrote to a lot of friends and family members to get them to send letters and birthday greetings to Jenny to open for her "treasure". Her day started out with her gifts from Logan and Josh. She got one free shot at each of them with the bb gun! It's not as harsh as it sounds, she only got to pump it once and she had to aim for their calves! She went 1 for 2 and Josh had the welt to prove it! Later that afternoon her first clue was delivered for a treasure hunt that took her all over the town of Lovell. And it was delivered in style, as a singing telegram (in perfect harmony, I might add!) by Josh and Logan (Those two boys sure kept us entertained!). I wanted Jenny to be able to see all the spots in Lovell that Matt might have shown her, had he been there. These places were some of the highlights of our childhood! The hunt took her to Saveway (the worlds best nachos!), the church (largest LDS church building in the church!), the ball park, the IGA where Granddad's picture hangs on the wall, the Hyartt, and lastly at Jack and Sheralynes house. She got her treasure, the chocolate fountain we had a hot dog roast out on the side of the hill like we did EVERY summer growing up. Her night was then capped off by a spectacular fireworks show! I knew Jenny would NEVER post this many pictures of herself, so I took it upon myself to post them for her! Hope you had a great b-day Jenny, I know we all enjoyed it!

I'm going to have to say that was my best birthday ever. Who could ask for more than bbguns, treasure hunts, bonfires, fireworks, and the grand finale: a brush fire. Not bad Holmans. Can't wait to see what you do next year to top it.
