How did we get HERE?

Mike is FIFTY!!  

We celebrated with a big party with so many friends (of course, I only took pictures before the guests arrived).  We ended the night chatting on the back porch with the last few friends that stayed to the very end, in the soft glow of the backyard lights, while the campfire burned and the kids jumped on the trampoline.  I love nights like this!!

I also made a slideshow of him through the years that we played during the party.

Here's a picture that didn't make it in the slideshow because for some reason it kept turning sideways!  So here it is on my blog at least--Mike and Miley and their complicated relationship haha.

I made a ton of cupcakes!

As I was setting out the snacks, I thought I may have over done it...but it was almost entirely gone by the end of the night!

I had to get a 1973 banner!

Some of his gifts from the party:)
