Mike's Birthday Party

Mike is such a lucky guy. Our anniversary is on the 17th and his birthday is on the 19th..that's double the celebration! This year I wanted to throw him a birthday party. It was going to be surprise but it was too tricky to hide everything from him so he knew about it. All he knew really was that there was going to be food and friends. I took care of the rest. It was such a great day! I had a few months to prepare so I was able to enjoy it too instead of scrambling around at the last minute. The theme was Hawaiian Luau.

The food table was very delicious!

Isaac was super excited his mom let him have ROOT BEER!

For dinner we had steak kabobs, fruit kabobs, potatoe salad, pasta salad and other goodies. So yummy!

Thanks Karin and family for coming even though they had JUST arrived to California after a long flight.

 Great times with friends and family!

 To keep the luau theme going I made some pineapple upside down cakes. Don't let the presentation fool you, they were DELICIOUS!!

 Mike had a great time, he was all smiles the whole time. He thanked me at the end of the night for throwing such a great party and said he had had a great time. Anything for you hubs!

 I wonder what he wished  for? Hope it comes true!

 My mom drove all the way from home to be at Mike's party. Thanks mom it meant alot!

 The birthday boy got lots of treats from the Skidmores including his favorite, diet coke!. From mom and dad he got a new tent to take to all of the scout camp outs.

 I gave him a sleeping bag to go along with the camp theme :)

 Thanks to all our friends and family who came out to the party! Mike had a great time

Just wanted to show proof of what wonderful friends we have that helped clean up in a matter of minutes. And thanks papa for setting up all those chairs and tables too!



Happy Birthday Michael!
