Finally some pictures form my 40th birthday! What an amazing weekend. It started on Thursday when 2 huge 40 balloons were delivered to the house sent by Amanda and Richard.
On Friday we prepared for the party. During the preparations the biggest surprise of the day arrived in the form of Gerda! No one (except my dad, not even Thijs) knew she was coming! So nice to have the whole family together (unfortunately Elsbeth was missing).
The garden was completely transformed with black tables, white decoration and lots of lights! Just the way I wanted it!
Everyone was welcomed with canapes and prosecco and around 9 we sat down for a dinner in the garden. We started with antipasti, followed by spaghetti vongole and fillet steak on mushroom risotto. The food was absolutely wonderful. During the dinner I was presented with a voucher for a digital photography course. Great, really looking forward to it!
At 12 it was my actual birthday and we celebrated with champagne and every couple got a paper lantern to light and let go into the sky. The lanterns created a lot of hilarity but eventually most of them made it up into the air. What a lovely sight!
'Mojito Girl' Diana!
