last week, my mom & megan's good friend, becky, (who also happens to be my friend, jessica's, mom) turned 50. so we got together and decided to throw her a surprise party.

it was A LOT of work. but a whole lot of fun. we love entertaining. or as jocelyn says, "making a big deal out of every occasion."

we even go a florist for the party. i pretty much just fulfilled any left-over dream i had from my own wedding reception. which was also held in this amazing little venue.

megan did the food. she is quite the gourmet and everything turned out great.

becky's husband, jon, belted out simply irresistible. the back up dancers were huuularious. they all took their "job" very seriously.

after the program, we served homemade pies with FRESH apple cider. fresh because there was a freaking apple press in the back yard!

more guests enjoying themselves.

ok, ok. so we went a little overboard with the whole menu..... because after pie and cider there was donuts and hot chocolate. but to my defense, the donuts and hot chocolate were the party favors. so they could have been eaten later on.....

overall, it was a blast. but the best part of the nite was that becky was ACTUALLY surprised and had a fabulous time.
