No doubt most of you knew all about Cooner's big 60th surprise party.... I have been working hours on it over the past 2 months and last weekend... it finally happened! NO thanks to Indiana's crazy weather and having to re-route to New York City- for crying out loud! All I wanted to do when Delta called and told me that my flight was canceled... was to call Cooner. But- I couldn't :( Alas we pulled it off. I have the best friends, Aunts, cousins, and second mother's {friends of Cooner's} that you can possibly imagine. THANK YOU everyone for ALL of your sweet touches to make the party the HUGE success that it was!

The decoration were a labor of love.... but they came together beautifully. We used hot pink and black. My very favorite things were the chalk boards, the chandeliers & the party hats with her pictures on them- precious!!

Daddy was beside himself trying to get her there on time & not spoil the whole thing..

This is Cooner and her bestie Brenda {I practically lived at her house growing up}.

We are single handed-ly bringing "corny back"- ha ha. We danced the night away... although I missed slow dancing with Jo-bo. And Prissy would have led the Cupid shuffle- ha!

Cooner with all her girls :) They crack me up!! But.. when they met me at the hall to decorate and started asking me what to do?? I died laughing wondering what Cooner would say/have them to do... then started delegating- Cooner would have been so proud!
*****
The WISH JAR was a huge hit too! Instead of a guest book I asked each of her guests to write a birthday wish and put into the "Wish Jar". We read through them early into the next morning... and I'm sure she will read and re-read them many more times!!!!
*****
It was a party that she'll never forget... and one that still makes her cry.
I ADORE you Cooner!!!

P.S. This week I'm hosting a jewelry party for a dear friend, overhauling the Master, and have just finished up painting the dining room & front door {gasp}. Can't wait to share!
