Last Saturday was both my MOH and bestie, and my best guy friends birthday. In the past we have celebrated by taking a trip somewhere up north in NM where we can rent out a cozy cabin and play in the snow for the long weekend.
This year we decided to save some money and do something a little different.
For about 3 years in a row we celebrated my birthday in Vegas. We haven't gone for the past 2 years because everyone has been getting married and/or engaged and it's just too darned expensive.
Soooo, we decided that for Dig and Jay's birthdays we'd bring Vegas to US!
And boy did we!
Janean and Lauren ordered a TON of decorations and totally transformed Jay and Janean's house into a mini Vegas! A whole room set up to look like a club (and one of our favorite clubs at that, The Rockhouse!). Another room had casino games and the dining room table was converted into a poker table where the guys spent most of their night.

Each of the birthday kids got their own Vegas inspired drink
and I made 100% totally homemade Vegas inspired cupcakes for each of them.

| Dig's Vegas drink named after her favorite slot machine! |

| Jay had some purple ddrraannnkkk |
Side note: Super proud and boastful of myself with those damn cupcakes. I made Jay a Guinness chocolate cupcake with Bailey's Irish Cream frosting, and I made Dig a white russian cupcake that was brushed with Kahlua and had a little vodka and Kahlua in the whipped cream frosting. YUMMO!!!

N.E.Wayz (did anyone else used to write like that?! Anyone? No? MAN how annoying that is!) - we danced and drank and laughed the night away. We also made it a potluck event so there was a TON of Vegas-y foods to get down on.

I'm pretty partial to my own birthday - but all in all I have to say that this is most definitely one for the record books. As in one of the best parties that we've ever thrown and that says a LOT because several of us have been friends for like 15 years.
