this past weekend was my birthday, and I felt absolutely covered in love. my family drove down from northern california to be with me, and I was serenaded with breakfast in bed by pretty off-key rendition of happy birthday {it's tradition!}. we went to the farmers market and ate fish tacos, and the sun was shining, which I considered my birthday present from God:)
later that night, we glammed up for our mad-men inspired birthday party! My dear from Chels and I are birthday twins, so we went retro this year and took everyone back to 1960's. To say I love dress up themed parties is a bit of an understatement.
I ADORE them!
we found plastic martini glasses so we could feel like the real deal, and chels found candy cigarettes online to pass out as party favors. the best part was EVERYONE got really into it, and the costumes were amazing!
I made a little game where I printed out about 15 famous people from 1960 and made everyone guess who was who. We also played a very heated game of battle of the sexes (which we considered fitting since gender roles in 1960 were a bit stereotypical, haha!)
I love it when everyone I love comes together for a good time. And the best part was, I got to wear my grandma's vintage green suit from the 1960's. I was legit people! haha
thanks for all your sweet birthday wishes...made my day!!! love you guys!
love Katie
and as a disclaimer, the lighting was a bit, umm...yellow. Let's just pretend that's what photos in 1960 looked like, mmmkay?
praise Jesus for friends and family who make us feel so special:)
