Happy 18th Birthday Ashli Warford!

Last Friday was my SIL's 18th birthday. This is pretty weird considering I knew her when she was three and couldn't say "Diane," so she called my mom "diamonds" (which now that I think about it, I'm sure my mom enjoyed being called diamonds.) Anway, her parents threw her a surprise party last Tuesday. I got to help decorate, which was so much fun. We did a western theme and had BBQ for dinner.

Here is the crowd of people waiting for Ashli to arrive.


Here is Ashli walking in...

The after-shock...


The decor and food...



Centerpieces...

We used cowboy boots instead of vases...



My aunt had a TON of stuff that I got to borrow. Here, you can see an ammo box she had. We used it to hold the plates, napkins, and utensils...




Of course, the party was a surprise to Ashli, but the bigger surprise was the mechanical bull that the Warfords rented for the party. Nobody believed I would ride it. I showed them!


And what's a party without Tilly?????

Learning from one of the best!!!!

Happy birthday, Ashli! We love you!
