Birthday Party

I hit the big 30 this year and my sweet husband threw me the most awesome party ever! He put a ton of work into it and it really turned out so great. He did have some helpers too. When he told everyone at work he was throwing me a party, they all jumped in to help him.

The decorations were awesome.

Every level of detail was carefully thought out.
He even included a "Twilight" corner at my party. Do I have the best husband in the world or what?!
And look who he invited!!
Everyone anxiously waited for their turn to hang out with him.
My mom was in charge of the cake. She did an amazing job!! Does anyone recognize it? It's a replica of Bella's cake from New Moon! My dad cut my name out of wood (twice...my mom made him do it again to get the font right, but it was worth it!) and it looks just like Bella's cake!
He also had "my favorite things" throughout, which I thought was an extra special touch. That of course includes diet coke...
And popcorn. He spent a ton of time using our popcorn machine to make batches and batches of this stuff that I love. He packaged them all up in disposable popcorn bags and had them at the party. Why we do not have a picture of that, I don't know!!

There were also finger foods around, which are another favorite of mine. Again, if I'd had the camera that night, I surely would've taken pictures of the food! Here's the menu though:

Skewers of Fresh Mozzerella, Basil & Tomatoes with Balsamic & Basil Oil
Asiago Stuffed Tiny Red Potatoes
Cambezola Pear & Toasted Pecan Canape with Proscuitto
Hot Shrimp Kisses in Orange Chipotle BBQ Sauce
Strawberries
Eclairs
Sugar Cookies
Candy Treats

So awesome and delicious!!

Here's his big helper, Dawn. She's an interior designer, so she knows style. In fact, he told me she even overrode him on a couple of decisions. :) Thanks to Dawn and everyone else who participated in making this such a wonderful event!
Here's my mom and dad finishing up the cake.
Seriously awesome cake, mom!
Here I am arriving at the big event.
The kids even had a great time. Thanks to everyone for their help with babysitting, so I could socialize with my guests!
Lots of guests came...family, friends and coworkers. I felt so loved!!
Thank you to my wonderful husband for pulling this off and for everyone who helped with it. Especially my parents and Ty's parents. They are always so helpful and supportive of everything we do and we appreciate it so much! It was such a great birthday and one that I will never forget!!
