what the heck?

After the hustle and bustle of Christmas Eve & Christmas Day, I thought I would check blog land.  Yes, I have a million other things I could be and should be doing, but.......I open my blog and I hear firework sounds in the background!  Nothing else is open on my computer, no itunes, no pandora, nope, nada, nil, nothing...just fireworks??????

some kids like him....

some kids don't...

this little pixie clearly was having nothing to do

with Jolly ole' St. Nick

Merry Christmas

surprise!

it was a day of celebration

a surprise of the best kind

a group of women that have been

a part of each others lives

from a few years to fifty two years

and

we all came together

to celebrate my daughters

30th birthday

we shared a lunch of

chicken salad

egg salad

veggie & dip

cheese & crackers

fresh fruit with creme fraiche

yummy homemade cookies

&

of course

a sparkly pink cake

we dined on antique pink dishes

linen tableclothes & napkins

(which my son ironed for me!)

with a touch of silver & crystal

we sipped tea from pretty teacups

& enjoyed ice tea from crystal goblets

~the birthday girl~

~the birthday gang~

a very special thank you to the girls

for making the day so special
