Pretty in Pink

This past Saturday we went out to Menifee for our niece Brooklynn's 6th birthday party. Camryn was REALLY looking forward to this one because the party was at a place called 'Libby Lu'. If some of you aren't familiar with this place, it is the mecca of everything pink and girly!! The girls (they had a group of 9 girls total) each got to dress in a little pink sequened top, get their hair style of choice and some cute "make up" applied. Then they each got a little pink satin bag that they got to fill with 5 little toys and pick out an accessory. Of course Camryn picked the Britney Spears-style microphone headset...

Here's a snapshot of a few of the "divas"
l-r: Roxie, Brooklynn, Camryn, Sierra

Camryn getting her hair done... It's amazing how fast those girls work! BTW, all us moms decided that would be the funnest place to work for a teenager!

After getting their hair done, they were ready for the show! The workers took them outside at the mall entrance and taught them dances. It really was SO incredibly cute!

The whole glittery group!
Even cousin Hannah (2yrs old) got in on the fun!
And the best/worst part- all the Libby Lu stores in So Cal are going out of business so everything in the whole store (including the party!) was 50-75% off! Needless to say, we walked out of there with more glitter anyone could handle!

After the Libby Lu event, we headed back to Aaron & Christa's for some pizza and cake.
(Anyone recognize the cake?)

We all had a really great time, especially Camryn!!
Thanks guys! :)

Turning the big 3-0!

I was so blessed last week, with it being my 30th birthday and all, to have so many great times with so many great people.  On Wednesday, Matt's parents had us over for dinner for my birthday.  Linda made taco bar fixings and we had my favorite for dessert- brownies!  On Thursday I went to dinner with my good friend Amy to a favorite spot- Roman Cucina, YUM! We had a great time, NO KIDS! :)  THEN... on Friday I went to a day spa all day with my sis, Amy.  We had lunch, massages, then went shopping.  My idea of a great day!  SOOOO, then we pull up to my house and I see my shutters closed TIGHTLY in my front window, open the door and SURPRISE!!!  Everybody is standing in MY living room, in MY house (which was nothing near clean when I left at 11 am)!!  It was such a surprise to see all of my friends & family there to celebrate ME!  I just want to tell all of you who were there, or helped plan- THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart.  That meant so much to me, to have you all there with me to start another decade of my life.  So here's to my next 30!! (Or 40, or 50, or whatever!) I love you all!

Matt & my sister planned an evening of 'Cupcakes & Cocktails'. Everything was so cute! All the little details, from the invites, to cupcakes (my fav), to centerpieces! They know me so well...

Everyone waiting for me...

"Oh my gosh, you scared the crap out of me!" I believe were my exact words.

Everything looked so cute. I was so proud of my hubby! 

They even had a pasta bar for dinner. It was amazing!

Thank you, again to you all.  Even the ones who couldn't make it... Love ya lots!!
