Not even sure where to begin!! I had the best time this past weekend celebrating my birthday with friends and family. I decided earlier in the year that I wanted to try my hand at painting. I had seen my girls attend several painting parties and I thought this would be a good place to start. I didn't really think I would do that well, but I still wanted to try it out. So I shared my plans with my oldest daughter and said...since I planned a lot of your parties I think its your turn to be in charge of mine. LOL ( I don't think we thought it through at the time since it would be only a few weeks after she had moved into her new apartment, but because she asked one of my girlfriends to help it kind of took some of the pressure off of her. Plus, she said I was driving her crazy lol. Its a lot harder to give the reins to someone else when your usually the party planner, so I tried...just not sure I succeeded that well lol).
They even got us a private room!!! Having not ever been I did not know what to expect but it not only met my hopes and dreams, it over exceeded them. Starting from the moment I walked in the door that staff was amazing. Not to mention I was not expecting food, but my girlfriend Sonia and my girls even handled that detail.
I kind of knew there might be cupcakes (only because they had asked me my favorite flavors) but I was not expecting them to be themed to match the party!! I recently looked back over some old photos and realized I have a thing for beach themed parties lol.
Mid way through the process I was amazed it looked this good. LOL
Baby girl seemed to enjoy it as well (as well as my BFF in the background eating lol).
Quisha not only did a good job on her painting, but a great with her mom's party (and this was with a really painful toothache).
The rest of the ladies. They were in deep concentration! LOL The light haired women in the middle is my bestie who pulled off a lot of the surprises that night. I couldn't stop hugging and thanking her and Quisha for doing such a good job.
My mom, and the sister cousins drove the hour 1/2 to spend the evening with me as well.
The finished product! Not bad if I do say so myself!
All the ladies!!!!! I will never forget that night. We laughed, we ate, and we danced (I have the videos to prove it lol). The staff said they had never had so much fun. And apparently we impressed the guest in the other room because they wanted to know what we were drinking (nothing unless you count our alcohol free punch lol). They also said they wish they had been in the room with us. We ended closing down the place because even though we had been told we didn't need to clean up...that is just not in this groups DNA. Which I also think won us points because they wanted to know when we were coming back. One of the assistants even thanked us for making her feel like she was a part of the family. LOL That's just how we roll. I love my family!!!!
