My Birthday Celebration

As you know, I love a celebration!

This year, I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday with some of my closest girlfriends at a "girls only Sunday luncheon" at the Luxe Hotel in Brentwood.

The Friday night before, I celebrated with my hubby and children at one of my favorite restaurants, Boa in West Hollywood... and look what they brought me as a surprise for dessert!















One word: YUM! So decadent and delicious :) 


After a wonderful dinner and evening with my family, I invited my girlfriends to join me for a luncheon at the Luxe hotel that Sunday. We closed off the patio, and although the party started at noon... it was so much fun that many of my girls stayed until 6pm! My wonderful husband Michael sent us two cases of champagne, and there were delicious delicacies for us all to feast upon. From a griddle station where my best gal pals could create their own custom omelets to a seafood station with fresh oysters and shrimp, it was definitely an indulgent day. Being surrounded by so many of my loved ones all toasting to my happiness was such a treat!

My guests lavished me with such incredible gifts... from gift certificates to Neiman Marcus, Burke Williams, and Hermes to the most beautiful orchids, I was in heaven! 



As the day progressed, the party of 40 people dwindled down to 14, and we all hung out on our private patio, laughing and enjoying each others company. As the late afternoon approached, we decided to order mini burgers and other small bites, and stayed until we finished the last bottle of champagne. So fun!

I am so lucky and grateful to have such amazing girlfriends!
