Jimmy's 40th Birthday Party!

Jimmy's 40th birthday was December 28th but we were so busy with the holidays and also with finishing the basement that we decided to postpone having a party for him. I planned a big shindig at the end of January, invited all our friends, had a babysitter for our kids upstairs, had a fun cake made and served some delicious food we had catered! I tried to make it as easy as possible on me but like all parties it was still a lot of work! I'm just glad I didn't have to make the food!

The cake was designed to be a UGA cooler with Sweetwater 420 (one of Jimmy's favorite beers). The "ice cubes" are made out of sugar and really looked like ice! Everyone that saw the cake literally thought it was a cooler with beer in it!

I dug through lots of old pictures and found the best of the best of Jimmy over the years from when he was a baby until now! I put them on big foam boards in the shape of a 40! Everyone loved looking at the photos of Jimmy over the years. Jimmy has had many different hair styles over the years and always seems to have different facial hair!
