			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t tell anyone, but I celebrated the big <strong><big><span style="font-size: larger;">5 0</span></big></strong> birthday last month!&nbsp; My sister and her husband were living the high life at the Montage in Southern California, and left me with the three kids.&nbsp; (I&#8217;d rather be with the kids than at the Montage!)&nbsp;</p>
<p>Naoko invited the kids and me over for a quiet birthday dinner, but when I got there, it was really a surprise birthday party!&nbsp; I had no idea and I was truly surprised and happy to see my friends there to help me celebrate my birthday!&nbsp; We had yummy food and drinks, wonderful presents, and even a fun stamping project!</p>
<p>Here are some pictures from the celebration!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;<img height="366" width="350" src="http://stampinwithjacque.com/wp-content/uploads/Cupcakes.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Naoko made yummy cupcakes and made cute little cupcake holders using the Perfect Setting Big Shot die!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
