Friday was James Birthday! YAY!!
He is now 28!
On Friday he had to wait till that night to open presents... (he wanted to wake up at midnight and open gifts early, but I am not very nice and said, "no way!") Then we went out to dinner at Joe's Farm Grill! Very yummy and $10 off your meal if it's your b-day! Awesome!! Afterwards we stopped at Krispy Kremes to get his doughnuts and they only do 1 now instead of a dozen. Which actually worked great and we were able to share it. yumm!!
The next morning James went hunting with his friend Ben and did use his coleman. yay!
That afternoon I had a party all planned for James. He did find out I was throwing him a party, but he had no idea about the theme. I kept that a secret - yay! I had such a fun time planning this party over the last few weeks. Thank you pinterest for several ideas!! :)
James and the dessert spread!
