Stuart's Party

Stuart's 30th birthday party was Saturday night. We had about 30-40 people and had a GREAT time. Here are some of the highlights:


Last year's pinata was such a big hit that I got another one this year. It is a cowboy boot that was filled with 3 bags of candy (which I am still finding in the garage).


Unfortunately, Stuart trusted his friends to NOT move the pinata when he was swinging. Of course they did, so he fell over quite a few times trying to swing.

Getting blindfolded and spun by Meg.


We had another friend bring a bull pinata. There were some kids at the party, so Stuart held the pinata for them (apparently being 30 does not make you smarter!).



The highlight of the night was a surprise visit by our friend, Coffee. He has been in FL for a few months after being in a car accident. He just got back to Jacksonville Saturday night. Stuart had NO idea!


The gals: Meg, Melissa, Me, Justine and Maria (expecting her first baby!).

Beer pong table set up in the backyard.

We had a good turn out!


Here are pictures of the decorations!

"30" yard sign set up with the coolers of beer (and water of course).


Stuart's gift of S'mores from Julie and Mike.


"30" Balloons (not really sure what is on the tv)

Another set of balloons that say "Happy B'day Dad". A gift from Abby.

"30" trays for some of the food.

Speaking of Ms. Abby, I dont have any pictures of her from the party. The party started about 6, and since her bedtime is 7:30, she wasn't around for most of it. But she slept like a champ through the whole thing. But here she is wrestling with Daddy. Her excema comes and goes. We are keeping it pretty well lotioned, and it doesn't seem to hurt her. Happy as always!

We let our friends Thomas and Meg borrow our spare bed. Apparently their dog ate theirs. So while I was at the movies (The Proposal - such a funny movie), Stu turned the room into a playroom for Abby. How cute is that! Now we dont have to keep pulling her out from under the coffee table!
