My Tiffany-themed Bday party!

This post took place last year, back in October.
This is the continuation of my Birthday celebration,
down at our time share, in San Clemente, CA
We had some of our closest friends come down to celebrate with us.
We all enjoyed this little party that I put together,
before we headed to the restaurant on the pier.

I created this entire party!
I love, love, love everything about Tiffany & Co.
So naturally, I wanted my special day to reflect that.


Every party needs beautiful cookies!
I had these made especially for me.
Pretty, right?


I wrapped all the plasticware in napkins, and added cute,
decorative napkin rings.


I made these darling cupcake toppers!


Another picture of my special, Tiffany themed toppers.


Shrimp cocktail...


Crackers & dip...


Crackers & cheese


A delicous, oriental chicken salad,
and some marshmallow pops I dipped.


One of my favorite parties so far!


Here's another view of my party table.
Look at the gorgeous Ocean, in the background!!
This was seriously, the best day ever : )


This was my Birthday cake!
My wonderful friend, Cheryl made this all by herself.
Now mind you, this was her FIRST time ever using fondant!!
I was SO surprised when she brought this over, and surprised me!
I've got the bestest friend in the whole, wide world!

Irvine Park Railroad

Halloween has come, and gone. 
In fact, that was SO last year. Literally!
This is another post that I didn't get around to posting.
I apologize for my lateness...

Nina, and her girl scout troop headed over to
Irvine park railroad in Irvine, CA 
We kicked off the fall season with a 
fun-filled day at the pumpkin patch!


The girls were ready to head into the hay maze!


Nina & I stopped to take a picture.
All of us were having so much fun!


Jordan took lots of pictures like this while we were there.
I thought he made a very cute Frankenstein!


Melanie, Natalie, my daughter Nina, and Vanessa were about to
head into the haunted house for a little scary fun!


I just LOVE this picture!
Jordan made a cute kitty, and Nina a darling witch.


Vanessa, Nina, and Bethanie were enjoying their day!
Aren't they adorable?


Genie, Nina, and Natalie


A cute little pony/hay ride.


Some of the girl scouts were waving to the people on the train.


We all took a lunch break, before heading out for more fun.


Nina's troop leader Yvonne, Co-leader Alex, and myself.


The girls had their tickets, and they were anxiously waiting their turn
for the train ride around the park.


Jordan was enjoying his first train ride, very much!
I think his smile says it all.


This was the last picture of the day!
So much fun at Irvine park railroad -
they offer so much fun for the kids.
We can't wait to go back again!

Birthday weekend in San Clemente! {last October}

This is how far behind I am in posting on my blog...
Last year I uploaded all of these pictures, with the intention of
posting about our fun weekend.
Here we are in February of 2012 - this was from October of 2011!
I'll do my best at trying to remember all the details. LOL

This is beautiful San Clemente, CA {last October}
We have a time share, and we go out to visit for a week.
Our week just so happened to be during my Birthday!
I took time off of work, and invited some of our friends to
come down and help us celebrate my Birthday!

This picture was taken from our balcony.
The weather was gorgeous.

Another balcony shot, and a beautiful sunset.


This would be Jordan's 2nd time coming out with us.
He was only 2 months old when we last came here.
He really had a great time, as did all of us!
Here we are stopping for a pic on the pier.
We don't always dress color coordinated for a casual stroll.
We were dressed for my Birthday dinner reservations, later that evening.


My baby girl, and me. 


There's Danny & the baby, enjoying their people watching.


After our walk, a few more of our friends arrived for my celebration!
There's nothing like having great company, and great friends.


Lisa, Cheryl, and Myrna ~ the 3 best friends a girl could have!
I was so happy they came out to meet us for my Birthday.


Daddy & Jordan were checking out the view from our balcony.


I wanted my birthday dinner at Fisherman's restaurant!
We made reservations, but still had to wait a long time.
I didn't mind because I wanted to be eating dinner, with my friends, 
and wonderful family, eating to my heart's content, and watching the sun set.
And lucky me... I got to do all of that!!


We had a big group join us for dinner, so we had to sit
at two different tables.
I loved this pictures of my daughter.


Our friends Greg & Lisa


My nearest & dearest friend, Cheryl & her hubby Ray


A pretty view of where we were sitting.


My clam chowder!
I'm not joking when I say this was the most delicious bowl of soup
I've ever tasted!


I feasted on steak, veggies, and rice.
So delish!


My Birthday ice cream cake!
One of my friends told our waiter that it was my Birthday.
Everyone sang to me - it was great!
A wonderful dining experience, with wonderful friends & family!
