a happy birthday boy, his party & his toys...

We celebrated Brian's Birthday @ Cocina Superior with 16 of our closest friends. It was a really great night of laughter, good food, and celebrating our sweet B. Here are some pictures from the night...

One of my favorite things to do is think of & give gifts. I love trying to come up with the most original ideas. I'm not sure if I'll be able to top this year's. My husband is likes Bruce Springsteen...ok ok, my husband is slightly obsessed with Bruce...ok, let's be honest, Brian is completely obsessed with the Boss. SO, this year my sweet friend Karin was gracious enough to do a commissioned oil painting of Bruce for Brian's man room. It's a 30"x30" painting & fits SO well in Brian's man cave. My parents went in with me on this masterpiece & the best part is that we completely surprised B & he LOVES it! If you want to see more of Karin's work, go to karinfecteau.blogspot.com. She is an amazing artist & has done several watercolor paintings for me!

Brian's other favorite gift was from his sister, Beth & his BIL, Dustin. They got him an Xbox 360 game - LEGO BATMAN! ha:) Brian loves it & was so excited to play!

Thank you everyone for making my husband's 32nd a great birthday! We love our sweet friends & family!!
