We've settled in with some of our biggest memories from our fifth grade year for podcast Tuesday this week! We also have stories from the parties we attended this weekend (including the one featured in this post)!
We're smack in the middle of all my friends turning forty. I am still not sure I'm ready for that to even start, if that tells you where I sit with the whole thing.
This past Friday, forty came to my friend Faith. We've been friends since college, back when we looked a little more like this:
We've come a long way, I like to think. :)
Faith's parents and daughters threw the party for her, and they did a really nice job of making it exactly the kind of party she would like. I loved it for her! Much attention to kind words, many pictures, and music from the Greatest Showman!
I took pictures for her, so here are a few glimpses into the festivities of the night:
Do you like her pretend surprised face? (She knew the party was happening, so she wasn't really surprised, but she had no idea what they were going to do AT the party, so all of that was the surprise.)
She spent some time mingling with friends who came to celebrate with her, and then we all gathered for the party entertainment:
Her mom shared some thoughts, and then her daughters gave their top ten favorite things about their mom:
She loved it so much:
And then it was snack time! (And pictures!)
We ended the night with a few gifts:
And a few more pictures! This girl right here is such a special part of my life. I was in the delivery room when she was born, and I've been Aunt Bekah her whole life. :) She's not yet outgrown the hugs. I love that!
So it was a fun night - and a fun way to spend our monthiversary! Happy birthday, Faith!

Turning 40 is not that big of a deal- the day before your birthday you were still in your thirties. When you hit 40, your next birthday, you're going to be IN your forties, not merely 40. And then, you get to be in your forties for a long time until the next milestone. Ah, aging. It looked like the party was a fun celebration for your friend and everyone there.
How fun! Hope she has a great year ahead.
Maria - I don't THINK I'm going to have a crisis about it, but I fear I'm too far out to know for sure yet. I did just fine with 30. 31 about undid me, but 30 was fun. Guess we will find out shortly! :)
Tamar - It was!
Happy Birthday to your friend! And Happy 63 months to y'all! I've always wanted a surprise party. I've thrown a few in my day but have never been the recipient. Maybe one day...
Jenni - I hope you get one! They are FUN! (I don't think I've had one either, but I have loved the daylights out of helping to throw them for others!)
