Happy Birthday Candi - Part 2!

I just have to give an update on a couple things that happened today.

Remember my report on the cheap glasses from zennioptical.com? Well Candi also heard of another place - clearlycontacts.ca (its the same place that AK mentioned). This place sells name brand glasses for around $40. I used them to get contacts for Jamie once. I ordered them about 3 in the afternoon one day and they arrived at our door by 10 the next morning. That's good service but that's not the story I wanted to tell.

Candi ordered a pair of Joseph Marc glasses from this place just over a week ago and they just happened to arrive in the mail today. An unexpected birthday present.

So what do you get for $40 (actually $38 plus $8 shipping)?

The glasses come in a cloth pouch that is in a nice case. There is also cleaning cloth and an eyeglass screwdriver.

So how does it compare to Zenni Optical? Candi paid $19US (about $23 Can) for her expensive pair at Zenni. With Clearlycontacts.ca she paid $38 Can. These glasses are name brand. The case is nicer and you get the pouch for your glasses plus the little screwdriver. The quality is good for both. I don't think you can go wrong either way. So now Candi has 3 pairs of glasses and she's spent less than $70.

Modeling the new glasses.


Just as we were taking picture of her new glasses the doorbell rang.

It was someone delivering some flowers.

Who are these from?

She found this note.

We were all confused at first. Who is Mary?

But as she read the message again there were hints and she figured it out.

I know who Mary is! Its Savannah!

(you have to check Angie's blog here for the story about Mary)

She couldn't stop laughing and crying

When she finally stopped laughing she had to wipe away the tears.

Thanks Mary.....I mean Savannah

And as an added bonus on her birthday they let her off early from work at the hospital. She was supposed to be there until 10pm or so but was finished around 6pm.

Hope you had a good one Candi!

Happy Birthday Candi!

It seems like just yesterday when mom went to the hospital when she was expecting you. It was a false alarm and they sent her home but not before I could cause some excitement at the hospital. They had a big reclining chair (like an executive chair) on wheels that I was sleeping in. I guess I leaned back too far, the wheels started rolling and the chair fell right back on the floor making a loud crash. Nurses from miles around came to see what happened and if mom was okay. (By the way - I was fine). A few days later we returned for the real event and what an exciting day that was. We welcomed you into our family - and life has been exciting ever since.

I can't believe all the pictures that Angie, Alana and Erika have already posted on their blogs today. Where do they get them all? There are some classics in their posts. I'll try to post some that haven't already been posted.

With Grandma and Grandpa T and "twin brother" Michael

Like Alana mentioned in her blog entry, Candi has always had a sense of fashion.

She was on Facebook before it was "in".

Skiing in Whitefish. Another example of that fashion sense.

She really can ski. I think Grandpa is holding her on a leash. We should have kept that leash.

She really is an outdoorsy kind of person. Fishing at Duck Lake

She loves the glamour of Hollywood. (actually at California Adventure)

The excitement of the real Hollywood. They worked as a team to get some paparazzi shots. Below is actually what they were watching.

That's really Uma Thurman and John Travolta in that car. They were filming the movie "Be Cool".

Always a good big sister. You can see how much Jenelle and Jamie enjoyed the fireworks at Disneyland. (it also looks like they are trying to look up at John Travolta)

Another fashion statement (are those your $10 glasses?)

Yet another fashion statement. She's tough enough to wear pink. (When we all worked for ENMAX)

Happy Birthday!

(at her pre-birthday celebration this week - She has to work at the hospital today - Jenelle did the lettering on the cake)
