Happy Birthday Honey!

We celebrated Lonnie's 34th birthday this past weekend and what a great weekend it turned out to be.  We started the celebrating on Friday with a family dinner at Pappasittos. I am lucky in the fact that all of Lonnie's favorite places to eat are also mine so it was like my birthday too :)

Of course he was super embarrassed when I had them sing to him but not so sad when he got to eat the chocolate brownie with ice cream!

Pretty sure the kids enjoyed it too.

I have a confession: I am not the best gift giver when it comes to birthdays.  I have grand ideas in my head but they never seem to amount to anything.  Lonnie likes to tease me that when it is his birthday I get myself gifts too(only sometimes!) so this year I decided to throw him a party.



I chose a "Fiesta" theme and served a taco bar along with chips, dips, cookie cake, etc.

Pretty sure I cooked about 7 lbs of taco meat but this was super easy and people could make soft tacos, crispy tacos, double decker tacos or nachos.  YUM!



And what party would be complete without a bounce house? Lol.  Since most of our friends have kids we wanted to include them.  Luckily some of our BFFs own this waterslide bouncer and literally entertained the children for about 8 hours!

This is what happens when you play on the bouncer for 8 hours!

 For the adults we set up washers and corn holl.  It kept the fellas entertained for hours :)

 Still playing into the night.

The turnout for the party was great.  Some of Lonnie's current staff made the long drive from Clear Brook to hang out.  Our BFFs from College Station came to the party, our family(Lonnie's parents and brother/sister n law pictured below) and other friends- I think he felt loved :) 

My Family: Dad, nephew, sister, mom and niece



I am so blessed that Lonnie is friends with all of my good friend's hubbies so they came to the party too!

And this is the infamous "A".  This is the love of Case's life!  He told her dad at the party that she was his girlfriend.  SOOOO cute and just like Lonnie, choosing an older woman.

Don't tell Ms. A but she might have some competition!  This is Ms. K and the three of them will all be in childcare together next year.  Could be some cat fights, haha.

The McKinneys stayed over after the party and we got some fun play time in before they had to leave.

Happy Birthday Honey.  I hope this kicks off what will be an amazing year.  Love you, more.
