It had been a while since Weiner and I have done a joint birthday celebration. Actually, since the Ohana debacle of 2009…but we won't get into that. Instead, here's a photo to commemorate that night.
This year, Kylee was so sweet and offered to plan an amazing night for us to celebrate with all the girls. She came up with the fun idea of doing Palettes and Pairings. It's been something I wanted to try, but just hadn't gotten the chance to yet. You go to an art studio where they provide you with everything you need to paint a canvas including step by step instructions, and of course…wine.
We started the night off with happy hour at Indigo Kitchen in Lynwood. Rachel (a brand new mom) was even able to make it for dinner, and Jenni was in town from San Diego. All my favorite ladies.

We headed over to Palettes and Pairings after dinner and got ready to paint. Everyone had their own station and the instructor stood up front both with a finished painting and a blank canvas so that we could follow along as she showed us how to do it.
Being artsy, I knew I'd enjoy it, but it was even more fun than I anticipated. Everyone else had a great time, too. We even got Jenni to participate!
