It's not every day that your daddy turns 30, so Phil prepared for the day with gusto. He searched high and low for a suitable costume, finally settling on a jaunty little puppy number, which he used to great effect to notify everyone of the upcoming party:
Meanwhile, Hilary was hard at work preparing for the party. The theme was "30 years, 30 beers," so we selected 30 different types of beer to sample:
With our Dixie Cup servings, even with the help of many friends, we topped out at 11 varieties for the night--so we're well-stocked with leftover beer for the winter! Personal favorites from the night include The Three Philosophers, Magic Hat Winter Seasonal, and Troegs Dreamweaver Wheat.
After we had all shared suitably embarrassing stories from my first 30 years, we moved on to a rousing game of "pin the nose on the pumpkin." If you ever come across a pumpkin that needs its nose reattached, Brandon is your first call!
Thank you to everyone, and especially to Hilary and Phil, for helping me to ring in a new decade!
