Hope it was a great one.

Nick didn't want a big ol' birthday party for his 30th, he just wanted his family over for dinner.
Weeeelllll the family isn't small so a party it was regardless!

I tried to keep it simple, shredded chicken, refried beans and rice, tortillas and tostadas. Guests made themselves either tacos or chalupas and it all came out pretty good.
The favorite was the yummy cakes.
I made both of Nick's favorites!
Chocolate mousse cake and Strawberry Jello cake...way yummy!
I had myself WAY too much cake.





















Being silly with the birthday boy!

Clock wise: Kimberly, Nate, Stacey, Karen and Z.

















This was MAYBE half the gang...okay not even half!
Aiden, Ryley, Stacey, Nate, Kimberly, Karen, Z, E and Aunt Judy.


















Birthday wishes! Boy I wish we had some more cake!























Something only a gamer could appreciate. A gift card holder from where else but Nick's favorite store...Gamestop.
Hello, My name is Liza and I am a video game widow.
(I don't mind it relaxes him and it gives me reading time.)



















A family gathering isn't a gathering with out some Rockband!
Dave belted out some tunes and can sing one mean Blondie song....your good Dave...your real good.

Our dinner was perfect and at the end of the day when our family was gone and our munchkins knocked out we sat at the dinner table for another slice of cake.

We talked, we laughed and we were grateful for our family, our boys, our faith and each other.
