Happy 50th Birthday to my Husband Richard. 

July 7th 2012  At home party.

I made the cake be cutting out the numbers with a
template I downloaded from Marthastewart.com

Thought I'd show you the reason I have not been blogging:





What a wonderful day we had celebrating with close friends and family.

These are Richards Parents.  They are really nice in-laws.

I'd like to introduce you to my Grandma Ellen she'll be 98 next month. 

Here are our family and friends

The signs lined the walk up to the house

I set four tables of red, white and blue for guests

Raspberry Lemonade, lemon lime soda and water to drink.

Fun, fun, fun

Part of Richards gift was a makeover of our BBQ area,
and these BBQ items

I had old photo's of Richard at every table
as part of the decorating

This is the drinks corner

On all the 50th Birthday signs I added photos of Richard in the "0"

The favors for the party, every guest picked out their favorite pesonalized popcorn sack.  1800.POP.City

Decorations were fun.  I purchased them online at Partycity.com. 
I only spent 15.00 and felt there was a lot of millage from the bargain supplies.

Curling ribbon from recycled gift wrap, and party hats from past
birthday party to add more fun.

A different centerpiece on every table.  All themed with photos, party hats and curling ribbon.

Another table set in red white and blue

Additional seating is always a plus

I loved making this board.  These are pictures of Richard in many hairstyles.  We did this on http://yearbookyourself.com/ website.  Too fun!

The End
This chair is set sideways so our dog "Oly" doesn't make his self at home at the party.

Thanks for stopping by the party!
