Last Friday was T-Pain's birthday. He is super anti-attention (what does that mean?) and doesn't want singing (for real he will kill) or candles. But he does want cake. And you know he secretly loves the special attention of dinner & gifts... Otherwise are you a human or an alien?

Anyway we celebrated with Aristo for dinner & the Urban Arts Festival downtown afterward, which is the quintessential summer activity: Superb people watching, perfect weather & live music.


Tyler's pretty cool.

11.11.11

Reasons for a party on 11.11.11

My Dad & Taylor share this day of birth.

Taylor would be leaving on a mission in 3 short weeks.

11.11.11 was a Friday.

I like planning parties. 

11.11.11? Coolest date ever.

THEME:

Twinkly lights

Turquoise, white & silver

H'ordouevres

Fancy beverages

General fun-ness

(So mostly the theme was "party")

INVITES:

(designed by sweet friend Ashley. Don't you love this?! )

DECORATIONS:

(I don't have a super fance camera, this is the best I can do!)

In real life, the lighting was perfect and dare I say dreamy.

PEOPLE:

There were so many people that showed to support my Dad & Taylor. When I had a minute I snapped some photos.

This picture makes me miss Taylor

Thanks to Meg, Adam, Sarah & Denis for keeping Tyler company while I refilled punch bowls. 

I love my friends!

Beautiful ladies

PHOTOBOOTH:
Photobooths will never be overdone because they are so much fun. So many of my parents friends wanted their picture taken and I LOVED IT.
Can you tell we added the date last minute?

I said, "parents, act like you're at prom!"

My brothers worked hard to coordinate their attire. So handsome!

little hearts

my girfs!

aww shed a tear!

Nobody knew what to do so we made wishes & shouted hooray!
