Well… Brett just turned 30 officially on Tuesday! He said that it was te best birthday that he could remember… we had a HUGE surprise party for him after church on Sunday and he had no clue it was coming! Jeremy and Kate made an incredible video of Ashlyn talking about her dad and his birthday… and we played that at the end of the service to spring the news on him! As of right now we are having trouble posting it online… as it is a finished DVD… but we are going to keep trying… the video was a riot and we would love for everyone to be able to see it. We had a couple hundred people at the party.. and the whole church and our families came together to throw the party together for Brett. We had food brought in… but tons of people in the church cooked and baked as well, and then we had a huge yellow cake with chocolate frosting… which is of course Brett’s favorite. Shawn Campbell made the signs and banners for the party and then sent them out to us… he used the theme of “More Cowbell” from Saturday Night Live… which Brett has always loved! It was an incredible party with tons of family and friends and Brett said he has a wonderful time.
Then on his actual birthday the staff threw a birthday lunch for him, with pizza and cake… and a birthday crown too. : ) Then that night we had a family birthday party at Bill and Margaret’s house and that was a blast! Margaret and Stef made Chicken Ritz… one of Brett’s childhood favorites, with green beans, corn, and rolls. Then we had an amazing dessert too. It was fun to celebrate as a family!
Brett says he can’t really believe that he is 30… but that he loved his birthday parties! I am glad we were able to make it special for him. He deserved a GREAT birthday!
Happy Birthday Brett; we love you!
