We had quite an exciting weekend! On Friday evening, we celebrated Janet's 55th birthday party as her husband and a couple of close friends threw her a surprise party. There were tons of amazing appetizers the women had prepared. They also put an ad in the local newspaper to celebrate like the locals, it was hilarious! A full page of her in traditional Nigerian gear with quotes taken from previous ads. Jason said he was getting ideas for my big birthday next year, oh lawd!!

Sadly, we could only stay at the party for a short time because we had to go home and change for the Lagos Yacht Club Anniversary Ball that was also on Friday night. There was a nice meal, band, dancing, photographer and even a special dance floor. Our best friends in Lagos were there and we all had a blast dancing the night away!!

On Saturday night, we were invited to a dinner won by our good friends, Amanda and Alex, as a part of the baskets from the silent auction night. It was Texan/Redneck themed and included dinner for 8. We were so lucky to be invited, because boy did they go all out for the dinner. There were so many cute details incorporated, the food was absolutely delicious and they even had party favors for us! Such an awesome night and we definitely know what we will be bidding on next year at the auction!
