Happy 4th Birthday, Calista!!!

My granddaughter Calista, had her birthday party last Saturday. But first, this is what I wore on Friday:

This is a Calvin Klein knit dress that gives an optical illusion of a perfect hourglass shape.

On top, my Ann Taylor classic black zip front blazer.

With this outfit, I wore my buffalo turquoise and smoky topaz necklace.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and a leather studded cuff.

On my right arm, my Swarovski Nirvana in Black Diamond and my Infinity bracelet.

Friday night, Doc made us hot dogs for dinner.

Here is what we gave Calista for her birthday :

We got her a Barbie - she has a pet dog and it can give birth to three puppies. We also got her two really cool books. It all got wrapped up in a hot pink bag.

And here is the birthday girl herself, all in pink.

The theme for her party was "Pinkalicious".

The party was held at Liberty Park - there are quite a few jungle gyms there, as well as pagodas to shelter from the sunny or cloudy skies.

Here's Benjamin (5)

And here's Joseph (7)

Instead of pin the tail on the donkey, Kim had pin the cherry on the cupcake:

 Three kids hit it right on the target. it would have been easy to cheat - just feel for the top of the paper and move to the middle. One of the older kids figured it out.

And for dessert, cupcakes that looked just like the one in the game:

It was breezy, so it was hard to get the four candles on Calista's cupcake lit.

Later on, Preston came over to get his belated Easter gift:

He got slime, a TRex eraser, and a genuine Indian tomahawk/ peace pipe.
It was NOT wrapped fancy.

Back to work today, and this is what I wore:

A Style and Co top from San Antonio, with some classic black knit slacks.. I was there for a conference. I saw a fellow attendee, and she told me that the Macy's was going out of business and everything was super cheap. It was.

This is a very easy and comfy top.

I wore two necklaces - the shorter one is a souvenir from Kansas City and the longer one is from a neighbor's daughter who was selling Paparazzi Accessories.

On my left arm, an INC cuff from Fort Lauderdale and my yellow gold rings.

On my right arm, an enamel/crystal ring from Saks, and a stretchy crystal cuff, also from Saks.

And that's all, until I see you again!!
