After all the decorations were up we then had to plan for my 40TH
birthday party. I think I was so happy as I was still 39 and still am! My birthday isnt until the 10th and this was on the 5th.
It was really stressful getting ready as I like everything to be perfect
very Martha Stewart and we were really far behind. So four or five meltdowns later, the party began. Well begin with food (of course)
sorry, DH forgot to take a pic of the appetizers until they were half gone!
We also served a main course, which one of my close friends helped me get spread out
this was mostly catered in, so it was just getting it from the kitchen to the table.
Then it was time to finally relax and party
we even invited my next husband, Kevin Sorbo, to join us:
And Kevin kept wanting to be in the pictures.
The family:
Red and her DH were there as well:
People had a good time, at least the pictures show they did!
A quick toast to my friends:
Our bartenders who made more and more potent drinks as the night wore on:
Present time!
Present from good friend who helped me get all the food out:
Now for the cake
I have a friend who is just a FANTASTIC and AMAZING baker. When we first talked about having a party, she insisted she make the cake. We got to talking about what would be appropriate and it was decided that a Sleeping Beauty cake would be in order. It turned out fantastic
it was five layers, with Swiss butter cream and strawberries, with a pink fondant
but you can see for yourself how much I enjoyed it.
The first two are from my friends house:
Me with my cake:
Heres the much more normal piece I did eat!
At the end of the night, DH and I realized we probably should have a couple of pics together!
It was a really wonderful night and in the end it made all the stress and craziness worth it
it was a night to remember!
