Lesley's Surprise 60th Birthday Party!

   Kristen was approached in April about helping Jim throw his wife Lesley a huge surprise party for her 60th birthday! He wanted a Key West theme so of course, we here at FF were excited from the get go! Nothing like a great theme party!

Lesley was truly surprised to see so many of her friends and family!

   Approximately 100 guests came to share their love with this special lady! Jim had planned lots of fun activities which included bingo, karaoke, and dancing to tunes played by Jacob of Music on the Move.

Lesley "singing for her supper"! 

Kristen created a mock photo booth for guests to get silly in.

A presentation of Lesley's life was put together and narrated her 60 years via photos, videos and music after which she and Jim danced to one of their special songs

Everyone enjoyed delicious food from Christy's Catering and dessert was Lesley's favorite, Cassata Cake, from Bernini's.

Lindsay's Crustacean Celebration!

   Lindsay's birthday party developed from an idea to have a clambake . . . then to a crawfish boil and then based on the time of day it was going to be held, and the fact that crawfish are not in season right now, to an all out seafood hors d'oeuvres smorgasbord!
   We kept the seaside theme for decor and guests could choose from lots of delicious apps. sides and desserts including lobster bisque shooters, Ted Peters famous Smoked Fish Spread (no really, it IS famous! If you want some more info about Ted Peters and their unreal smoked fish check out Creative Loafing Titled - Best Tampa Bay Food Blogger (and dear friend of mine) "Dash of Les"'s post about the deliciousness!), crab artichoke dip and maybe a trip or two over to our mashed potato bar!
   It was a great time, fantastic company and we hope Lindsay had an amazing birthday celebration!
