40th birthday party!!!

Jenni one of my best friends turned 40 the same week as me.  Our friends planned a fabulous joint  birthday party for us at a house on the lake in Cooperstown. It was so luxurious!


Our friend Lisa (in the middle)  picked Jenni and I up for the trip.  Of course we had to take a quick picture before hoping in the car!  


Here is a picture as we were pulling up to the house it was huge!


Here's the house from the back it was right on the lake.



Our girlfriends went early and decorated it so pretty. This fireplace was in the living room where we spent all of our time.  


Here Jenni and I are in our birthday crowns.  


I love vanilla cake with vanilla icing so my bestie Rachael made this sweet cake for me.  


Here's the drink station they had set up.
  

I love, love, love monograms so the girls made us each a monogrammed glass and monogrammed pajama pants.  


The monogrammed pajama pants were my favorite party detail!


They made these adorable picture collages for us highlighting  all the important people and times in our lives.  I absolutely love mine.  I'm going to put it upstairs in my office/guest room.  


The Trail Mix bar was such a cute touch.  
I brought a bag home for Ava and Graig.


Here's the view from the second floor looking into the living room.  


Here's a picture of one side of the bunk room where four girls stayed.  


It was a perfect birthday party.  Tomorrow I'll share more pics from the weekend.

My birthday!

Yesterday was my 40th.  I spent the day surrounded by my favorite people and I'm so thankful and grateful for that.

I started my day at my bestie Rachael's house.  She made cupcakes and we had the best time talking and chowing down on cupcakes!


Her son loved the cupcakes too!


For lunch my neighbor and dear friend Heidi arranged a little lunch party for me. 
Here's  a picture of us from today. 


It was so sweet and I loved being able to see so many of my  friends. 


After lunch we had cake of course!

The got me an awesome gift basket filled to the brim with goodies!


Tonight Ava had a basketball game so Graig and I went to that. I love watching Ava play!  Here she is with two sweet friends after the game. 


 We got home so late we didn't even eat dinner :-( we are going to go to dinner next week for my birthday! 

So far 40 has been fabulous!
