Happy 30th Birthday Craig!

My handsome hubby turned 30 on Saturday! We had a very busy weekend celebrating: dinner & a movie with friends on Friday, friends over on Saturday (I cooked a big pot of chili and ordered a special cake), and then lunch & dinner with each of our families on Sunday. I am exhausted!

Here's a few photos from his cake on Saturday:

No matter what he tells you, Craig is still a little boy at heart, and loves his special birthday treatment and any surprises that go along with it. (He also LOVES Christmas morning.) I got him a Tagheuer watch for his 30th birthday present and he's super excited about it.

Also, this weekend, we finished up Phase 2 of our Destruction Project at the newlyweds' home. (Phase 1 took place on the 10th.) This is a ritual amongst our friends/family. No actual damage is done... just tedious mess-making and "redecorating" with a little creativity. We put rice on ceiling fans, removed labels from cans, saran wrapped just about everything, created a giant spiderweb consisting of 2000 yards of ribbon throughout the house around every possible object, filled cups of water to cover the entire kitchen floor, filled a stairway with balloons and created another spiderweb of ribbon at the bottom to hold them in place and block the entrance to the second floor, etc. etc... It really was a masterpiece - our best work to date, I think.

I know, I know. You're probably thinking "how awfully rude of them - it would be so terrible to come home from vacation to such a mess!" And you're right. But it's tradition. It happened to all the rest of our homes. And Kelly is notoriously the worst offender... so she had this coming to her. Poor Steve just married into it. Anyway, they returned home on Sunday and were very good sports about it - got right to work cleaning.

Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure:
