La nuit en rose... (my pink bday party)

I decided for my birthday that we should have a theme party, and what better theme for a girl than pink?! Milton was happy to go along with the plan and did most of the work to get our house "pinkified" for the event. Our friends we very enthusiastic about the theme and it turned out to be quite a night! Ah, la vie en rose!


Pink Ladies for the ladies in pink :)




The pink enthusiasts gather for a group shot.


Lots of pink gifts for the birthday girl :)


It came down to a close vote as to who had to wear the pink rubber gloves for the duration of the party. And the winner is...




Lucky Matthew!!! He looks so thrilled about his win!


The boys decided to play a drinking game.


their opponents (and the losers of the game):






A few accessories where sent from home - thanks Emma for making it really clear just how old I am this year!




What good party doesn't end with the arrival of the cops to tell you to shut up?! at least I think that's what they meant by "Bipa. Sleep. No."
It was a pinktastical birthday party! and the rest of the weekend wasn't so bad either. Milton took me for a bike ride Saturday and a surprise picnic. Sunday was a nice lazy day spent in the sun at a cafe terrace where we read some books, wrote some letters, and took in some of the fresh spring air! We didn't make it to the cherry blossom festival but that leaves us with something to do next weekend and something to write next week... so stay tuned!
