Chris's 30th Birthday!

Chris turned the BIG 3-0 yesterday (8-20-12)! To celebrate, we invited friends and family to join us at Moretti's in Edison Park this past Saturday. Pizza + Cake + Drinks + Great People = SO MUCH FUN! Thanks to everyone who showed up. Chris enjoyed every minute and was all smiles until the next morning when he realized he had unfortunately "misplaced" his (actually mine ... actually my brother's) precious Bears hat, which he rarely leaves home without, sometime throughout the evening. We called all around, and sadly it is nowhere to be found :(

Early Monday morning (we're talking 2 a.m.), I woke up and decorated Chris' bathroom with an idea I stole from Pinterest. I took post-it notes and wrote one thing I love about Chris on each one. Then I placed them all into a giant 30 on his bathroom mirror, and another giant 30 on his bathroom wall. He seemed to really enjoy reading all the loving/funny things I had to say about him, especially since he's always looking for something new to read while in the bathroom :) Once I heard Chris jump in the shower, I got up again and started making him pancakes for breakfast. Monday is usually oatmeal day in our house, so this was definitely a special treat for the birthday boy. I put a 30 candle in the stack of pancakes and sang happy birthday. I also played "Call Me Maybe" for him (one of his latest favs!) and sent him on his merry way to work, where another surprise was waiting for him. Kyle and I ordered Daddy 6 cupcakes from one of our favorite bakeries downtown (Magnolia Bakery New York). Thankfully he only ate one at work and brought the rest home for both of us to enjoy! Later on we went to Pasta D'Arte for dinner while Grandma and Grandpa A watched our Ky Guy. A great day all in all!
