My true love was having a significant birthday.  We deliberated over escaping to NY for a romantic weekend or spending time with friends and family.  The latter was the obvious choice and I had to step up my game and throw her a party.  It was an occasion people… I rocked a bow tie for the first time and Ms. Thang sported red 3.5″ red patent heels.  Whoomp there it is.

Ok.  I was the client here and I elected to have my FOTO FUN BOOTH™ as part of the action.  If you were having a party or significant event wouldn’t you?!!

Throughout the evening there were quotes displayed in a slideshow that I’d gathered from some of Sasha’s closest friends, family, loved ones and yours truly about what Sasha means to us as a friend, mother, daughter, wife, etc.

 

And here is a photo retrospective of some of her 40 years. I doesn’t even begin to capture the good times, epic adventures, wonderful friends and amazing family, but…

    • Mary Wildenhaus: Kip, I loved all the pictures and especially the video of Sasha. I can tell that we missed one great party. Had we not been 1300 miles away, sharing this birthday with Sasha, family and friends would have been a truly memorable occasion. You and Sasha are lucky to have found each other!

    • T$: Oh...how I loved attending this soiree vicariously via the gorgeous photos. Sassy -- you made your nickname proud with your killer shoes, cute dress and presh new hair! Kipper -- you clearly put so much time into this to make sure every detail was personal and special and uniquely Sasha! I would ask for a do-over when we are together in Chile, but I think that would be impossible. But...BTW, were those RED VELVET cupcakes?????? Cheers and Happy Birthday to an amazing friend, devoted mother and one good salt-of-the earth person. Wish there were more like you! xoxoxo (02.01.2010 05:14pm)
    • kristen: YESSSSS this looked like so much fun! what a great husband. I don't know if it was the invite, but I thought it was the menu for the night cause it said "salud" and I thought it was a cool way to spell "salad". (02.02.2010 02:26am)
