Fifty and Fabulous

Lisa turned FIFTY!!!  

How is that possible?!

  

Whether we can believe it or not, it happened!

 

We had so much fun planning and executing her "1970s" birthday extravaganza:)

Complete with:

Decorations

I knew I wanted to make a collage of pictures of Lisa as soon as we decided to do a party.  It was so fun to go through so many pictures from years past.  Life is truly a beautiful thing!!

And look how fantastic this banner is!  So fun to picture what life was like back in the 70s:)

Costumes

Sheri brought an entire trunk full of 1970s themed dress up clothes--so amazing.  The kids had a lot of fun trying them on...some were more cooperative than others haha.

(Not sure how "70s" Summer is, but she was happy)

The boys were surprisingly great sports;)  Tyler gets an A+

Games

I came up with a trivia game all about Lisa.  It was such fun brainstorming for questions.  Jason won (by a hair) and proved to know Lisa the best...well, besides the one who came up with the questions;)  I also had a 1970s "Name that Tune" game ready, but we didn't get a chance to play it.

Cake

We felt like turning 50 called for splurging on the cake!  We ordered lemon raspberry from Afterthoughts and it was so so good.

And lots of laughs:)

I am so grateful to have grown up with such a loving, caring, generous "big" sister.  I know she would do anything for me, and I her.  Love you Lisa!  So glad you were born all those many, many, many years ago;)
