Party Highlights

Best Moment

Bohdi the doggie guest finally broke a helium balloon.

Funniest Moment

Even though I had been planning the surprise for two weeks, when Rob and I walked into the apartment and everyone jumped from their hiding places, I dropped my purse and went into the fetal position screaming.

What People Ate

Menu: Sloppy Joes (Man-wiches), tator tots, spinach balls, cheese balls

What People Drank

We don't drink alcohol, so I always have Coca-Cola products on hand, including Rob's current favorite: Cherry Coke Zero

Dessert

Birthday Cake and Candy!

Activities / Games

We did the classic birthday party agenda: SURPRISE!, open gifts, birthday candles and cake. On the game coffee table: UNO, Army men, and Legos.

Budget

$400. I spent way too much on candy, and have a lot leftover. I always include something special for me in the budget like a new serving platter. This time, I bought the cake stand I'd been obsessing about forever.

Party Favors

Personalized M&Ms in a tin, and paper bags full of candy!
