4/18/2009: Abbie’s 40th party

My sister turned 40 on May 1. In order to surprise her, they (her husband and younger sister Iris) arranged a surprise party 2 weeks before her birthday. They figured it was so far in advance that it wouldn’t really be on her “radar” yet. I think they succeeded. She seemed very surprised. It was a 1970’s disco theme party. There were some great costumes at the gig. I wore a big black afro with a sweet disco shirt and bell bottom pants. Melissa wore a “Farrah Fawcet” (sp?) wig with a 70’s blouse and some awesome red bellbottom pants. Iris looked really authentic with an afro and black dress. I think it was her sunglasses that sealed the deal for her. It just made the outfit work. Jonathan was hilarious with a sweet leisure suit and a big, puffy/curly brown fro. It looked awesome. The costumes were so much fun and we boogied the night away. It’s amazing how just some costumes can change the mood of a party. It was a blast. Abbie is such a great sister. Now she’s also an OLD one! (kidding, Ab)
