My oldest niece,Hayley is turning 18 next week. Her totally cutie pie boyfriend along with her family threw together a completely amazing surprise birthday party for her. How cute is that? They have been dating over a year now and are such a great couple. I have so many fun memories of Hayley from when she was a little tyke and growing up, going to school. I've watched her turn from a total Tom Boy into a girlie-makeup/clothes/shoes/purse loving lady!
The cover story was that the family was going to the zoo and then having a family bbq afterwards. Mom was going to call her and ask her to swing by Hill High (a country store that sells pies) to pick up some pies. In the back of the store is an art studio and they rent out rooms and the loading dock for parties. The place use to be an old apple plant. It was such a cool place for a party. Had that vintage feel and the kids had so much fun running all over the place with old crates and "junk" laying around. Anyways, Jamie the boyfriend was going to say "hey we should walk around to look at some of the art and stuff" and they were going to end up where we were.
The birthday girl is a huge "breakfast at Tiffany's fan" Mostly she
loves that style, Audrey Hepburn look. So that was the theme.

Andrea, the Birthday girl's mom, takes a break to snuggle a baby. She worked so hard on this party, and it was worth it
A view of where it was held, it totally looks all trashy but it really was cool, lots of windows and stone work, there was a really nice wine tasting restaurant right next to us, and a really cool art gallery in the building too, that big ball hanging up is from the art gallery!
The sunglasses, tiara and nail polish called "For Audrey"
Her she is!

After the party we all went back to Warren's house to see the 7 kittens they are fostering. They were cute but not enough to tempt me into coming home with one! Kate loved them and couldn't leave them so I left her there to spend the night. Apparently there were lots of people there, left over from the party and Kate got overwhelmed and asked to have some "alone time" because all the people and noise where making her "sad". Kate is not a crowd person at all! Warren took her to a bedroom and let her lay down on a bed with a book until the house cleared out a bit. Lydia and the baby fell asleep for the night on the way home. It felt so good to have some alone time myself. I was going to clean the house and read a book when I heard a noise coming from the garage. Then Tilly started to bark, I went to go check what was going on and when I saw Emily and Justin coming in! They scared the crap out of me! They decided to spend the night with me because Van wanted to stay with the kitty's too. We ended up having so much fun just hanging out. Brock was out of town this weekend so he wasn't around for the party.
