Someone turned Thir-TEE

My loving, funny, handsome guy turned 30 a few weeks ago! Oh and did I mention he is one hell of a dad too?  This post is all about us celebrating him!  After he thought long and hard about how he wanted to celebrate his birthday he decided on a family party. You only turn 30 once right?! I know you're thinking just a boring old family party.......not when your family guest list is 60 people!! And the party planning begun!

I came across the most appropriate theme, since Chris has been holding a golf club since before he could walk. 

Chris is turning Thir-TEE

Of course Pinterest was my BFF while trying to put this party together. I have to give all the lovely pinners out there the credit for how the party turned out!

So here are pictures of the before, decor and party in a nutshell.....

This was pre-party shopping at Costco all alone. I have to say the cart won! And this wasn't even for the main course! I had a really delicious barbeque restaurant cater the meats and some family members made a few sides and I made the rest. 

Selfie time on the way to the party!!

I was extemely pleased with the way all the decor and colors came together. Here is a list of the places I shopped online for some things.

The girls also had a blast playing with all of their little cousins and friends. 

Our best attempt at a family photo. I will take it. Love my crazy bunch!  We didn't get many pictures because we were busy having a great time!!

The birthday boy cheering on as he was serenaded Happy Birthday!!  

And of course I get a photo of the cake once it had been cut into. Hey, we aren't perfect but we had a great time!  I think it's safe to say he will always remember his 30th birthday with the people who love him most!

Since his actual birthday fell on a Sunday and we had the party Saturday he had more of a birthday weekend. 

Enjoying his birthday brunch in true fashion with a big cup of coffee!

We had his parents over for a quiet barbeque, we figured it was a good time to put the new backyard to use. 

He ended his birthday with some Sunday night football and having his favorite peanut butter pie from his aunt. 

I've always heard turning 30 is depressing, since I'm not there yet. Haha!  But I think it's safe to say he turned 30 in style. Plus......30 is the new 20 right?!?
