NYU Reunion!

My friend and classmate from NYU, Jason, was in town for a conference and we met up at Disneyland!  It was RAINING but had shorter lines.  We even rode Small World which equaled wet be-hinds!!!  B was a sport and endured the wet day with me and took this great pic of me and J!  Great timing with the train!

 

So glad we were able to meet up!

Until next time my friend :)

Harry Potter Dinner Party

For B's 25th birthday I planned a surprise Harry Potter dinner party to take place at our friends/neighbors place, Sean & Michelle.  B works on Saturdays so after several weeks of planning, I knew I had only 8hrs to get everything decorated and set up!

B had taken Michelle's car to work and didn't have time to finish everything he needed to so when he got home, he was BUSY!  Then he said when he was finished with her car, he was going to work on his BIKE!  UH!  So, I decided to start whining saying I was hungry ;)  Luckily he only took about 45min because everyone was waiting on him!

After he got changed, a special invitation was waiting for him in out apartment:

 

B and Hedwig!

 

We headed to the party next!  Great time with good friends and fun decorations if I say so myself!  :)

 

The 'GREAT HALL' with floating candles!

 

 

House Banners!

 

 

And a room full of OWLS....

 

 

The Three Broomsticks Brewery....

 

Ollivander's Wand Shop

 

Yes, I made these :)

Here they are before being painted....

 

Hot glue and paper - who knew!

 

Everyone was separated into houses - I was put into Ravenclaw and B into Hufflepuff!

 

 

Dawn - dressed for the part!

Treat 'cart': 

 

Complete with dark and milk chocolate, peanut butter filled frogs!  YUM!

 

Luna Lovegood and Harry Potter glasses!

 

 

B with butterbeer!

 

 

Luna is my favorite! :)

Group shot time!

 

Even baby Emily enjoyed casting spells....

 

B trying to grab the golden snitch!

 

 

Dinner time!  Shabu-Shabu!

You cook meat and veggies in a broth then dip in sauce and eat with rice!  So yummy!

 

Even Dawn was very intrigued by the decorations after dinner - she also carried around a few of the owls....

 

Happy Birthday to you!
