Happy Birthday Bruce!!!

     Happy Birthday, Bruce!  This year it was a bit different for the big birthday because we are moving, so gift cards were the presents of choice.  We had a wonderful dinner at Mickey and Mooch and then went to the Eagle Court of Honor for Thomas Crowley.  I promise next year we will do it up in style once again.  Just think: this was the last birthday before the twins arrive.  

Beautiful Cake from Krista - this was one of three she made for the party.  What a friend!!!!

At Mickey and Mooch - our favorite steak house in Charlotte - on Bruce's birthday. 

Yes I am very pregnant :)

     Photos from the party.  We had about 70 people over on Saturday to celebrate.  We did burgers and hot dogs, and I asked everyone to bring a side dish to share.  For games we did a water balloon throw - I filled about 150 balloons with water then counted to 10 and let the kids run wherever and throw them at each other. I really liked it when the dads got involved.  Next it was time for the kids to color the candy bags (for holding their candy from the pinata).  Last was the pinata.  Bruce wanted to hit it first, but something really funny happened - I spun Bruce around and directed him towards the pinata but didn't get out of the way in time for the bat to start swinging and Bruce nailed me in the hip.  He felt horrible but really I was fine - he totally missed the babies, thankfully (plus it was a plastic whiffle bat and he wasn't swinging all that hard)!!!!

     Tasty Treats provided by Krista.  You saw the cake above, but she really outdid herself.  Good thing I tested negative for gestational diabetes because everything was so yummy!!!

     Thanks for coming and celebrating this fantastic man.  I love you Bruce and am so grateful to be with you!!!!!  Next stop, the birth of the twins . . .
