Lydia is 21!

Joe and I went to Silverton for the weekend.  We went for many reasons, and one of those reasons was Lydia turned 21 years last Thursday.   She was so excited to be home for her big birthday.  She has been asking for weeks when I would be up to celebrate.  I wasn’t sure when I would be able to be up, but at the last minute we decided to head up.

We went over to my parents for lunch.  We ate sandwiches outside in the shade.  Did I mention that it was muggy and 80 degrees outside?  We were drinking flavored martinis.  Mine was a blood orange martini.  Yumm!  Little Ernie was playing on a latter that was propped up on the tree.  He could only get up to the first step and then he was stuck.  It was cute.  And, even if he had figured how to climb to the next step, he would have been pulled down by his Mom.  

After a while we moved the party inside.  My mom had a great idea to paint wine glasses.  It is something fun to do in the spirit of turning 21.  It was fun.  I painted a cute glass with hearts (pictures to come).  Lydia and Kelsey painted glasses with flowers.  Lydia painted an extra one for her friend that also turned 21 recently.  My mom painted some for a friend of hers who has a birthday coming up.  My cousin Marc painted with some cool poka dots.

Later that night I met up with my sisters at Applebees for some adult drinks.  We got appetizers and margaritas.  Yumm.  We even got some jello shots.  Then we moved on the Silver Spur for some county music.  We had a great time just enjoying a fruity drink and watching the crowd.  It was nice to relax and hang out with my friends, my sisters.
