Birthday Dinner

This year I celebrate my golden birthday!  To make it special, my husband has planned something for everyday of this month leading up to my actual birthday.  He decided to have our friends get togther for dinner to celebrate a few weeks early because my birthday is so close to Thanksgiving.  Knowing that I can't JUST have a dinner with friends without something fun he decided to NOT make it a surprise.  Tho, that would have been fun.  We brainstormed and came up with a few ideas.  I am not a cake person, so I made a more "adult" treat instead.

Truffles. 

I also wanted a new dress, because every girl wants a new dress for special occations.  I wanted a dress that was classic, classy and modest.  I have been searching for a long time for a classic wiggle dress that fits, but my search has turned up nothing.  So, I made one that was close.

I love to document life with photos, so I wanted something fun we could all do that would allow us to take photos but also to relax and take a more natural photo.  So, photo props was the logical answer.  With some craft foam, skewers and glue, I made some inspired by my friends.

It all came together quite nice and I had a wonderful time.  Thank you to my friends for making it special and to my husband for spoiling me and letting my creative side shine.
