Mike's Big Hurrah

This weekend we celebrated Mike's 30th birthday! And in true Mike fashion at his request, celebrated up in Mueller Park Canyon in Bountiful. We were glad the weather cooperated, it was a beautiful fall day in the 70's. (However by the end of the evening we were huddled around the fire trying to keep warm).

These are the invites I made for the party:

For food I made sloppy joes, cornbread, and a pasta salad.

Trying to keep the cornbread warm:

Opening presents

Mike's parents and I gave him a cordless drill.

Mike's bro Nick gave him an old cassette tape player, the game "Guess Who" and some cassette tapes from the year 1979. (the year he was born). (And I must add, that cassette player has turned out to be a gift for Emmett too, he's loving pushing all the buttons and listening to the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy". So thanks for buying me some some free time, it was worth the purchase!)

Mike's sister Melissa printed off a variety of fun memories with Mike from the last 30 years to read, and gave him some burned CD's of old music they used to listen to, along with a gift card to Cold Stone Creamery.

Mike's whole family was there, including grandparents, and his aunt Sharon, our friends Katie and Curtis, Mike's old buddy from LDSBC Josh Patel, and my sister Krista and her hubby Nate.

Nate and Krista gave Mike some black balloon's and a cane. (Handed down from Nate, from his own 30th birthday)

Mike's grandma gave him some cute pictures of when he was younger.

Mike's mom made the cheesecake. (I only had 24 candles so we spelled out the #30)

We had a great time and thank you to everyone who came! Some drove long distances to be there. Stay tuned for more parties around the corner...!
