Celebrating My Man's big 30!

On Saturday, April 20th my man, my love, my best friend, the father of my children... turned the big 3.0!

His celebration was simple yet perfect. When we woke up that day the girlies and I made one of his favorite breakfasts... over-easy eggs, toast, sausage and bacon. Then per his request... we visited a few yard sales, did a little shopping, had an amazing sushi dinner at Izumi Sushi and Grill and hosted a little after party at our house to continue the big celebration! 

His BIG leap into the 30's was a BIG hit with my man!

Here are the highlights from his dinner party.





















Then on Sunday... just to keep the celebration of my hubby going as long as possible... we took a little family boat ride. It was so enjoyable and so relaxing. This also marked the very first boat ride for our littlest Rye Guy. It was a great way to end our weekend.

Celebrating our littlest!

Last Wednesday our littlest man turned one! It's so hard to believe that my youngest is one, but it happened. He's one! We went about our day as usual... Daddy went to work, girlies went to school, then after school we went to T-Ball practice and afterwards dinner and a little family celebration for our Rye Rye Guy. 



We sang to him...


And watched him dig into his oversized cupcake. He really didn't eat much of it... but wanted to smoosh, pat and fling the remains of the cupcake everywhere. He thought it was super funny and we let him do his thing. :)


Then, on Saturday we threw a party to celebrate our littlest guy with family and close friends. The party was perfect in every way. We called it our Little Man's First Birthday Bash! Mustache Bash to be exact! :)

Party food with all the fixings...


We asked guests to write a special birthday wish for Riley. A fun and special keepsake. :)


We played a few games which consisted of bowling, art time and...
Pin the Mustache on Riley!  Ellie drew the picture of Riley... she was so very proud.




Then after games it was present time! This little man was showered with so many wonderful things... so blessed. :)



A special portrait of our Rye Rye man, drawn by my awesome Uncle John... a true keepsake!


Present time was then followed by cake time!!! And once again we let our little guy have a blast making a mess! :)






Everyone enjoyed a bit of sugar. Okay... A LOT of sugar!








I found an awesome poster board on Etsy that features fun facts about your tot... but for a whopping $54... I knew I could make one for much less! And I did! I made this poster for less than $10!


The party favors for our little party guests... Chocolate Decadence made these wonderful little chocolate mustaches and they fit perfectly with our Mustache Bash theme!


Mustaches were pretty much found everywhere!


So blessed to have so many amazing family and friends who joined us for the celebration!






Our littlest man had one great birthday bash! And he ended his part-tay with a nice little cruise around the house in his new red coupe!
