My family is incredible. Honestly, like beyond amazing. Anytime I get to spend with them is so special. They’re funny, warm, inviting, and the most generous, loving people you’d ever meet. Each one of them!

We get together more than most, and love to celebrate everything. Recently, my Aunt Noel turned 60, and all of my Aunts & Mom threw her a surprise luncheon with all of the ladies in her life! It was such a perfect afternoon & she was so, so happy to see all of the friends and family that came out just for her.
We all met at Harbor Lights in Norwalk. It was a really cute restaurant, right on the water.

The sun was shining – even two beautiful swans showed up for the occasion!

My Aunts put a lot of effort into making everything just right, I snapped some of the table details:


We were all mingling & catching up when we got word that she had arrived! We grabbed our cameras and stood there as she walked in with her family. She was SO surprised, it was the cutest thing ever. Obviously, tears were involved 🙂

So surprised! Hugs for everyone 🙂

After some teary hellos, we all settled in and enjoyed some tasty apps!


It was so sunny, I had to snap a pic of my celebrity Mama, wearing her Tom Ford’s at the table.

Forgot to snap a pic of actual lunch! Whoops!



Always have to squeeze in time for group photos…





It was such a special afternoon & I’m so glad I was able to make it! In the words of Teresa Giudice, I love, love, love this family 🙂
Happy 60th Aunt Noel! XOXO
