Birthday Bash

Here is a little look at my fabulous birthday last Friday.
I have to admit that my whole life I have always wanted a surprise party and 50 years later, I finally got one!
Thanks to Jill, Carol, Linda, Betty, Dawn, Denise and Shelley!!!!
 Thankfully I had gotten dressed in the anticipation of going out to eat with husband and son2. 
 I wanted to wear my beloved sequin skirt and I had a request to pair it with a chambray shirt.
  So, I was definitely dressed for a party even if I didn't know that was what I was dressing for.

My super great friends(minus one who came late)!
Aren't the cupcakes the absolute bomb???
 (That is until someone suggested we light the paper dolls instead of candles)
Me and the mini-me's


It was a great day
 and
 held all kinds of surprises and wonderful moments.
It was a birthday well celebrated.
Thank you again to all that left me birthday wishes 
and
 here's to another fabulous 50 years!


Have a great Wednesday!

You looked wonderful, your friends looked wonderful, everybody did. Those cupcakes with your images are such a clever and nice idea. It is obvious you had a wonderful birthday. And how nice your Son2 and husband agreed on appearing on your blog. My husband isn't quite ready for it. LOL

It looks like a wonderful party, Brett. You look amazing in the famous sequin skirt with the shirt and teal tights. And those mini Bretts are a brilliant idea!

Belated Happy Birthday, Brett! I'm following close behind, the big 5-0 is next weekend. I hope I look half as good as you do in this sequined skirt.

Happy belated birthday!
It seems you had a fantastic day.
I turned 50 recently and it is good to have family and friends around that day ;-)

Your sequin skirt is amazing. I am looking for one but most are too short - yours has a perfect length and I love the combination with the chambray shirt.

Love from Germany,
Annette

Aw looks like a fabulous time! My fear with surprise birthday parties are I'm not going to be dressed properly so glad you avoided that :)
