My sweet husband has a birthday coming up. He's turning 32. To some, this isn't a "special" birthday.. or at least special enough... It's not 21 or 30 or 40 or 50... But, to me, any and every birthday is special. :) So, when said dear sweet husband requested a party (which he hasn't ever before)... I said... "um, do we really know enough people to warrant a party?!" HA! And then I said... "If you want it, YOU GOT IT!" :)
His birthday isn't until the 30th (shared with Uncle Jim, Joey, Ben, Cameron, and a host of others I'm sure)... but we have close friends hosting a big shin-dig that weekend (um, this weekend)... so we decided to party early!!
Here's the photographic evidence!
 |
| Here are the cigars! I made them! Yep, I did! |
 |
| More cigars. Have you noticed yet that they are made of chocolate?! Even the bartender couldn't tell. He was trying to find a place for people to smoke them. He told John that people might be able to go out on the roof?! HA! |
 |
| The happy couple. **A couple of people used my camera. So there were more than 300 picctures...most out of focus! :) |
 |
| Holly acting as Jackie Chan! Hilarious!! (Chan DVDs were part of a bday gift.) |
 |
| Some friends!! (When I put this up on FB, I said it would have been even a better picture had I realized my camera was smarter than me... it picked super cool focus on Holly's face and everyone else is blurry! Oh well... I'm learning. AND, how good does Holly look!?!) :) |
 |
| One of my favorites! This is my friend, Cat. Her New Year's Resolution was to get me out more. I'm ok with that! :) |
 |
| The birthday boy!! Isn't he cute!?! :) |
 |
| This is Scott. I'm not sure if he'd like this picture, but I think it looks pretty cool. (John wants to see it in black and white... I'll do that when I get my fancy dancy photo software... oh, yeah, and that new computer! someday...) ;) |
 |
| Cat and her hubby, Joe. I just love this picture. It captures a moment. So fresh and real. So cute!! |
 |
| This isn't any great photo, but it has some great people in it!! |
 |
| The dessert table!! I made the chocolate covered pretzels into "cigars." I made my first ever from-scratch cupcakes. The brownies were for fun. The candles (not lit yet) are a MUST for any Miller party. The napkins... (I never took a picture of the napkins!!) Well, I hand-stamped a cigar box on each one. :) The tables were decorated with candles and giant magazine ads featuring cigars, liquor, watches, and a few cars. :) -Thanks, Cigar Aficionado. |
All in all we had such a wonderful time!! It makes me want to have more parties! Well, it makes me want to GO to more parties!! And, it makes me think I should bring back the summer birthdays luau THIS summer...hmmm...?!? :)
*Special thanks to my Mother in Law for missing the party and hanging out here with Zoey. (Even though I did have a nice, responsible teenager that I truly trust available to sit... she's even YMCA certified... Next time, Joyce... When you're ready.) ;) xoxo
