We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Feast Day Table...

to bring you the birthday variation. :)

I have no pictures of the celebration yet (I did not have my camera so I am at the mercy of others who I will bug shortly- after they have fully recovered from the lovely party they threw me.).

I came home with the big "5-0" you see taped on the wall. My daughter, Shauna, put it together for the party (Pinterest inspired). It is just stunning. More so in person. 

 A close up of a few pictures. 

 The table with all of my cards lined up across the back. You can still see a hint of our faith/feast day table- St. Joseph, some purple for lent, Mary, and my lent table runner. 

 Another Pinterest inspiration (I was told). My daughter, Jessica, asked people to give them a word that describes me. She took them all and made this frame with my baby picture in it. I think she asked people for only "nice" words. ;) 

 Flowers from my sweet Goddaughter and family. 

 Erin, daughter #4, was in charge of invites. (As the party was a surprise, I received mine after the party.)

I have honestly never felt as special as I did Saturday night. I was overwhelmed with the effort and love  poured out on my special day. The invitation says 5 p.m.-7 p.m., but my girls planned a little "after party" for when the guests left. Just my kids (kids, son-in-laws, grandkids) played a "who knows the most about mom" game. It was pretty fun! Well, funny. I'll share more when I have some pictures.
