The beautiful buffet table.
Wendy loves sushi and Asian food. A great restaurant called Asian Mint prepared the food for us and placed it in our serving pieces.
Garnishing the wonderful food

Sushi rolls
Summer rolls with peanut dipping sauce

Wendy with all the hostesses
We had about ten guests in addition to the seven hostesses, including two of Wendy's longtime friends from Atlanta. One of the hostesses had prepared a DVD with pictures of Wendy with her family and friends over the years. Watching that was a real highlight of the party for everyone. Wendy seemed genuinely surprised and deeply touched by the party.
Celebrating with good friends: does it get any better than this?

What a gorgeous party! Was the cake as good as it looked?
Girlfriends are the best, you all look so happy and like you're having a fun time.
What a wonderful 40th birthday! The cake is gorgeous! Ya'll looked like you had a great time.
This is a random question...But I noticed the magnificent painting of the little boy in the background of the pictures. Do you know who painted it? Do you have oil paintings of your children? I want to have Molly's done one day, but not unitl she's a bit older. I'm always keeping my eye out for good artist when the day comes!
Yes, I will definitely post of a pic of Molly in that cute shirt!
How beautiful - the cake! wow! and the house is very pretty too - what a gorgeous group of friends -!!!
That's it. I'm moving to Texas and becoming one of your real-life friends. What a spread! And the cake is gorgeous! You gals really know how to throw a party!
