Last Sunday we celebrated my wonderful husband's 40th birthday. He actually was really excited about having a party and thankfully helped me in the planning. We sent out email invitations to the Tucson gang and told everyone it was a Black Sunday and everyone was suppose to wear black. We also were trying to think of what was popular to eat back in 1970 and we thought of T.V. dinners. So, we had everyone bring a T.V. dinner and then we played White Elephant with them. We put each of them in a bag and then had everyone pick a number and then had each person either pick what someone else had picked or a new one in a bag. It sounds absolutely crazy, but it was a lot of fun. Once someone got the T.V. dinner that they were going to eat that night they hurried and started to cook it in the microwave so we could stagger the cooking times. It worked out and everyone was happy with the dinner they got and had fun eating it. We had a few fun games that either were about 1970 or about Donnie. Also, Donnie wanted a 4 layer cake and of course I couldn't say No, so I made this cake that looked like it was ready to fall over. It was really good.
Also, Donnie wanted everyone to play "Happy Birthday to You" on the kazoo instead of singing it. It was so funny.

that sounds like such a fun party guys!! glad you had a way fun 40th Don! and Amy the cake looks way yummy, that game sounds like a lot of fun. (also nice to talk to you for a min yesterday at the Newbolds Amy!) We miss you guys!
It was a really fun time! We will be talking about it for a long time. By the way TV Dinner's have really improved over the years. Donnie usually isn't so into it but I guess the 40th got him going and the rest of us had a lot of fun. (How did he get to 40 so fast?)
Happy Birthday brother! I know we're lame and didn't call but we still love you!
LOVE the candles on the cake and the 70's theme. I'm a little late, but Happy Birthday Don!
