We have a very unique situation in our family. Ashley and my husband share a birthday. And my husband, being a twin, shares his birthday with his twin sister (obviously, lol!). So we celebrate three birthdays on the same day--November 27th, to be exact.
So this Tuesday we celebrated all three birthdays at my in-law's house. My brother-in-law wanted to have a surprise party for them, and I was all for that as long as Ashley was included. So we decide last Thursday that we're going to do this--something simple, with close friends and family. Then I find out Tuesday morning that it's going to be a HUGE party with about 80 people invited, including a harpist, valet service for parking, catered food, with caterers waiting on you, etc. Needless to say, I was just slightly out of my comfort zone. I'm not a classy person by any stretch of the imagination, lol!
But it really was a very nice celebration. Sorry, but I can't resist sharing "just a few" pics. So here goes.
These are a few photos to give you an idea of how beautiful everything was.

This is the look on Ashley's face when she opened the door:
This is the look on Carlito's and my sister-in-law's faces when they realized what was going on ;)
This is the look on her face when she slightly recovered from the shock of the surprise:
The cakes (Ashley's was a Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake):
"Princess for a Day"--her cousin got the tiara from her room so Ashley could wear it. Is that too sweet or what?!
The backyard:
Thanks for looking! :)

Carmela, I am really getting to know you! I love surprises, not me getting surprised but surprising others! I didn't get to see all the pics,(what's up blogger, I know it's free, but...no pics!) Ashley looks like she is loving it!
