Wedding Extravaganza

Summer is here and it has been a Wedding Extravaganza!! The 2nd weekend of June was Emily's bacholorette party in Palm Desert followed by her wedding in Temecula on June 19. Here are some pictures that highlight the festivities. It was a great time to celebrate Emily and Brian as they enter into marriage. Michael and I also celebrated our 1st anniversary on Monday and were able to spend the weekend in Temecula and San Diego to celebrate. We cannot believe a year went by so fast and we are so excited for the next 50!!

Surprise, Dad!! Happy 60th!!

As you may or may not know, The McAllister's all celebrate their birthday's in May. My sister and I on May 2nd, my mom on May 16th and my dad on May 21st. This year my dad turned the big 6-0!! Last year, when he turned 59, my mom said that she wanted to throw a big bash for him for his 6oth. Then my sister got engaged and they had to pay for another wedding, 2 in one year! My dad told my mom to forget any type of party, since they had a wedding to plan. My mom could not let the year go by without celebration, so we had to go behind his back! Haha, dad!! My mom decided to have a dinner for him at Capone's, one of my dad's favorite resturants. It was on May 17th, the day after my mom's birthday. We told dad that we would take mom there for her birthday since we all had plans on her actual day. Michael and I went to the resturant, to greet everyone as they arrived. He was soooo surprised and it was a great night of friends and fellowship to celebrate my dad's birthday!! Below are pictures of the evening and all the great people who shared in the event!!


Just in case he forgot how old he was turning!!
