Isn't she awesome???!!! I didn't tell her than it's missing a few buttons, and that the lens looks more like the 18-200... it's the thought that counts! :smile: So, that was my special day!

(All pics taken with REAL D70s and 17-55 :biggrin

Happy Birthday, Shaun! That's one cool cake. Your wife did a great job. As one who makes cakes myself, I know that it was a real job to do that. She deserves something sparkly for her birthday! :wink:

That's really cool! Too bad you're old now. :Wink: Happy birthday!

Careful, Chris. He's ONLY 30! You might just be insulting those of us who are over 30.

I was hoping it would say D3!!! I'll settle for D300, though!

 

[greyflash]

You gotta love a wife like that. Congratulations on your 30th Shaun.

 

[Palouse]

I was hoping it would say D3!!! I'll settle for D300, though!

Just though the D700 was more appropriate since the 2 of you share the same birthday!!!!!
But it's your day, so D3 it can be:biggrin::biggrin:

 

[BostonRott]

She's very creative, what a beautiful cake!!

Happy 30th !

[BrendaC]

What a great cake! My 30's were by far the best...so far anyway. Have fun.
