Party #96402

Okay, maybe not...but, my gracious, it feels like I have gone to so many get-togethers and parties lately! I love going to all the parties, but they wear me out! It seems like my social calendar is packed during the holidays and then completely dies out during the rest of the year!
One of our very close family friends has the big 50th birthday this month, so a bunch of us decided to throw him a surprise party. Do you know how many lies it takes to successfully pull off a surprise party?!

I painted a canvas for the guestbook- similar to one I painted for a friend's shower.



Ya'll know how much I love to host things...
and I wasn't really the host but I got to help decorate and set out the stuff.

There was so much good food!



















Jeff was really surprised!!


And this little Stud definitely enjoyed the party too!

And Stud #1 was loving that his friend was at the party too






And JP wasn't so sure about the whole thing...
I think he was a little tired!


I made sure to squeeze in some Auntie/Stud time too...



My sweet grandma was also at the party




I'm hoping that things start to die down soon...I need some relaxation! I feel myself getting sick and exhausted...maybe December 26 will bring a day full of rest!

Oh wow what a beautiful party!
I love the canvas and the blingy decorations... what did you use they look like crystals?
I sure hope that you do get to relax very soon!
Merry Christmas

What a beautiful Birthday party Jenn! I love the simple black and white cake. Very pretty and classic.

Your look gorgeous and your nephews are so adorable! I really miss my nephews soooo much. Sigh.

Merry Christmas! ~Melissa :)
