The 50's

Now my family has a lot of parties. That's just the nature of a close-knit family and when your Mom has 7 sisters and a brother. All the parties are great, but once in awhile a party is just super rad awesome. On Saturday we had one of those exceptionally rad parties. My beautiful Tia Grace celebrated her 50th birthday with a big 1950's themed bash! Her kids and husband really put together an amazing party. It was so much fun.

Some highlights:

  • Decorations were amazing. Giant cut-out Elvis' and old school cars.
  • Bounce House (well highlight for The Phi)
  • Location was beautiful. And let me take a trip down memory lane. It had been years since I had been there.
  • Tia taking her first and only shot of tequila with her husband and 4 kids! (all over 21!)
  • Cousin Pepe's glasses
  • Seeing my Tia's and Mom all dressed up in 50's style
  • Chicken in a creamy Chipotle sauce. The food was spectacular! Catered from El Pescador.
  • OPEN BAR
  • Louella falling asleep in Tia Angie's arms.
  • Surprise visit from Arizona family.
  • Chone's "pimp" suite and Lili's pink ladies jacket
  • Pinata filled with chocolates! Seriously there was a ton of candy!
  • Cupcakes with Elvis' face on them
  • Pepe's speech
  • How beautiful and happy my Tia Grace looked.
Here is my favorite picture from the party....
