Party Recap

As every year, I threw my own bday party! I think it's just because I am a party thrower and want everything just right!

I invited some friends over, my hubby dealt blackjack, my son bartended and his friend catered to our needs! It was a great time...party went from 6:30 pm until 2 am!

I put this party on, food and all for $ 100! Doing all the food and decor myself!
