Well, we definitely got fancy and threw a super fun party to celebrate FORTY! Woohoo! I had been planning this party in my head for over a year and it all went off even better than I could have hoped. The weather ended up being perfection that night and it all added up to a fantastic celebration! I started the day getting my hair did and, I must say, it was looking pretty good!

Then we got the house party ready! We’ve gotten so many projects done over the past several weeks and the house was basically as clean as it’s ever going to be with flowers all around. I’ll share house pics tomorrow!

We were ready for fun and the kids were ready for a fun sleepover at our new neighbor’s house – GJ and Daddo!

One of my besties, Lyndsay, even came in from Nashville for the party!

The party was catered by Shindigs and they were outstanding. The food was insane and the drinks were never empty. I also hired a magician to come do tricks all night for small groups. He was unbelievable!

It really was a special night and I felt so loved that so many people took time out of their lives (and got a babysitter!) to come and celebrate me. I don’t take that lightly and am so appreciative for all the great friends and family in my life.

I celebrated FORTY the way I wanted – with a big ole party full of friends! It truly does not get better than that!! As I said before blowing out my candles, Cheers to a new decade!!
