Gail's 40th Birthday Weekend

Well, this is pretty much how the weekend went. So much for her volleyball/bbq party. It began to rain Friday morning while I was packing, and it was pouring by the time we hit the road to Petaluma. We kept up with the weather updates, and even went to the park armed with umbrellas and tents and set everything up, but finally had succumb to mother nature and go to plan B.

So . . .

Off to Pri-silly's house! Her and her hubby were generous enough to offer up their house as the back up location for the party. While that meant that volleyball was a no go : P lots of Gail's friends and family were able to make it. We were able to stay dry and have a good time! The sangria and burgers were super yummy! A tarp was put up outside on the balcony so we could still bbq (and almost caught on fire, oops!)

Here is the happy bday girl, sporting the sticker that came in Jenn's bday card!


Lots of family pics were taken, but I couldn't fit them all in to this blog. Here's one of the bday girl with her birth mom, two seester-seesters, and her neffie Connor!!!


This pic is a big change compared to the first pic, huh? Some of her gifts included a beautiful violin pin, a spa weekend gift certificate, tons of wine, and summer's eve wipes (ha ha!)



Happy bday seester! Can't wait for next year, when you get to try having a do-over on the whole volleyball bbq. The place you picked out was awesome, and I could tell that you and Priscilla put a lot of thought and effort into it!
