purple, purple, everywhere

Yesterday was Cheryl's 58th birthday and we celebrated with a very purple party at our house.  Purple is Cheryl's favorite color.  In the days leading up to the party, the kids and I were on the hunt for anything purple.  Lyla kept pointing out purple things everywhere we went.  She was a very good party planning assistant.

Here's our dining table all decked out in purple hues.




Guests were encouraged to wear purple and some of them were very festive!  Check out Nick in his purple afro wig.


The birthday girl.  58 years young.


I was excited that the purple layer cake turned out!  I used pink and blue food dye mixed together in varying amounts to accomplish the ombre effect.  I was quite happy with the result. 


Happy birthday to the most amazingly selfless, sweet, sassy, and Godly woman I know.  We love you!
