She had always said that she wanted to be in Paris for her big day. She is going in a couple of weeks, but in the mean time we thought we'd bring the Eiffel Tower to her.
It was a fun event and we managed to pull off the surprise... thanks to a lot of co- conspirators.As with any good party there was plenty of good food! We had bruschetta, chicken salad croissants, and of course, a spinach dip. A party isn't complete with out the all time favorite spinach dip.
Spinach Dip
1 pkg frozen spinach
1 can water chestnuts
diced red onion
1 container sour cream
1 small block cream cheese
Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 round fresh sourdough bread
Strain the spinach of most liquid, Slice water chestnuts. Combine all ingredients. Hollow the center out of a round of bread- creating a bowl. Serve with pita chips and a cute little spreading knife.
Speaking of birthdays...Y'all pop in to Kari's at Living Large and wish her a Happy Birthday today too!

a great big "Happy Birthday" to your friend.
My favorite party food!
And just when I thought there wasn't anything left to do with spinach...along comes you with what looks like heaven...not since the days of Popeyes canned spinach (Yech)have I been able to entice my sons to partake...I think this may just be the thing!!! Oh, and Happy Birthday to your BFF turning 50...can't say I've been there yet, either...well I could say, but I won't....
Y'all look like sisters--but I bet people tell you that all the time.
Looks like a lot of fun and the dip looks super yummy!

Awwwww, Sandi! Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! But...and here's the thing...it's not my birthday. Yet. I think my aunt started this rumor that it was today - but she blames my uncle for the mix-up! lol My birthday is next Wednesday but I am more than happy to accept birthday wishes today. Thank you so very much! And to celebrate my birthday, I'm announcing a giveaway on my blog tomorrow. Come on by and sign up! I should have it posted by noon at the latest. Thanks again!
50 isn't far off now is it?
The party decorations and food look so good! Happy birthday to your friend!
Today I took some grouper over to my parents' house and we fried it with the Whistle Stop seafood batter and it was so good. My parents and sister were IMPRESSED! I wish you all could get it in Wal-Mart! They live in Loxley, Al, and I wasn't sure where they could find it locally but I can always get it from the store over here in Florida or they can buy it from your online store!
Looks like a fantastic party! She is lucky to have you as a friend.

kari! Dang it... it is Sandi's fault. She owes you 2 gifts this year ;D
A BFF is a Best Freind Forever. I believe that is My Space lingo.
It looks like you had a good time and I'm glad you were able to pull it off. Good for you.
I love that spinach dip recipe. I do it often.
Hugs!
