Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

And this would be a "Mom Post". A little over a week ago, I had the opportunity to share in the experience of a super fun birthday celebration with 7 of my favorite friends. The celebration was held at Camp Clark and was prepared by 2 gourmet chefs from The Italian Gourmet of Mpls. FANTASTIC! WE had 3 birthdays to celebrate so we decided to skip the gifts, skip the loud, expensive restaurants and indulge in an intimate,  gourmet chef prepared meal right in the home. Let me tell you, it was the next big thing to actually being in Italy. Of course, there was plenty of wine (as you can see from the photos). Our  two chefs, Antonio Cecconi and his fun assistant (name?? - have a little more wine, Tina)  kindly showed us how to make pasta and prepare an authentic Italian meal and a delicious, chocolatey dessert. FABULOUS! We had such a nice time and ended the night with our standard human pyramid, PLUS 3 varmints who slipped in before their bedtime. Too bad their mama was sheepish about kneeling on the two backs of her partners in crime - it would have been so much better to just GO FOR IT even if it meant an ER visit. Why not end the night with a little excitement? Next time :)
