When my friend Audrey and I found our that our husbands were going to be celebrating their 30th birthdays just 2 days apart, we knew we had to throw them a big fancy birthday bash. And since it's going to be such a looooong time until we're 30, we decided to be a little bit mean and go with an "Over-the-Hill" theme.
Saturday was the big day. We had planned a big BBQ at the park with all of our friends from the neighborhood, but when we woke up it was cold and rainy. We debated and debated whether or not to move our party inside due to the freezing rain, but we finally decided to chance it. (Which later turned out not to be the best idea. Sorry Audrey, you were right)
Here we are setting everything up. We put the birthday boys to work too. They were such great sports and such willing participants.
Notice all of the winter coats and hats? Yup... it was pretty cold.
Here's my cute birthday boy! It seems so weird to me that he's 30!
Despite the freezing temps, our friends still showed up to celebrate with us. You are true friends, I must say.
After we got all the kids crying about the cold weather and the 32nd plate blew away, we decided to move the adventure inside. Everyone came back to our house for cake & ice cream. We fit 14 adults and 18 kids in our house. It was tight, but we sure had fun.
Here are the boys blowing out their birthday candles. Can you tell just how awesome they felt posing for this picture? Thanks again for being great sports.
Thanks for all of our friends who were able to come. I'm so happy we moved into this neighborhood and have had a chance to make so many great friends.

THANK YOU for hosting the party and inviting us! It was so nice of you and Audrey to plan that and to provide food for everyone! Joe and I are way glad that we've gotten to know you and Ryan! Thanks for your friendship!
Oh I've missed your entertaining posts! Looks like you guys had quite a fun party. And your hair looks really cute by the way! Did you do something new?
It was so much fun, and the cold weather makes for a good story!!
So many emotions as I look at this post - glad that Ryan has joined the 30 club, happy that you have such wonderful friends, envy that they get to live so close to you and hang out with you, wishing we were there to celebrate, and impressed by your oh-so-awesome tan. I think that about covers it! I'm glad your party was such a huge success.
