Brett's "Nerdy Thirty" birthday celebrations

So Brett turned 30 on Tuesday...and Jameston has been at his grandparents since Sunday at "Grandkid Camp" with three of his cousins for Spring Break (a post to come on that soon). We have missed the little fella so much!

To celebrate another decade for Brett and not having to worry about childcare, we went on a date Tuesday night. We had dinner at Perry's Steakhouse in Uptown on McKinney and then met up with some family members at the Mavs game, which was one of our birthday gifts to him!

On Saturday night I surprised him with a "Nerdy Thirty" birthday party. It was crazy at our house with all the kids but a lot of fun! I had a lot of stuff planned that I forgot about (wish I would've taken more pictures-story of my life), simply because I was enjoying everyone's company...oh well, maybe for his 40th!

Below are second cousins, Eva and Ada, along with our niece, Aspen, enjoying Fuzzy's Tacos, which I had catered (not up for cooking for 30 people these days :-)

Knowing there were going to be 10+ kids there (and looking ahead at the weather for Saturday with nothing but rain in the forecast), I got a pinata as some sort of entertainment. It was a "hit!"

Blur of an action shot!

and Riley! All the kids had two (or three, can't remember) turns at the pinata...Wyatt and Ettian did not join in on the fun :-)

Jackpot! Jameston was excited about the "M&M's," what he calls Skittles :-)

Brett's brother had the honor of holding the pinata while uncoordinated kids took a swing at it. Thanks, Jared!!

Me and my guy..thirty-years-young! We've been together for the last 10 years...hard to believe. Time flies when you are having fun!

Since a lot of Brett's co-workers and fellow CPA's joined us for the festivities, I went for the "Nerdy" theme...no offense to them! Thought it was more appropriate (as opposed to the "Dirty Thirty" theme I've seen) since kids were around :-)

Where is the fire extinguisher?!

Watching Jameston sing "Happy Birthday" to his Daddy...melted my heart!

Making a wish together and blowing out the many, many candles!

I think Brett had a great 30th birthday...we sure appreciated everyone coming over to help us celebrate him. Here's to the decades to come!
