When your Hubby Turns 60 ~Celebrating Pandemic Style ~Birthday Party Report


We “Partied” here all weekend.
Starting on Friday Night...

It was Pizza Friday.
We enjoyed a Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza with
black olives, red peppers, and green onions.
Hubby said it was my best homemade pizza yet.
 
Saturday was for the final party preparations...
Hubby blew all the sawdust out of his woodshop
and set up our outdoor chairs for social distancing.

I spent my day in the kitchen with food preparations...

...and organizing serving pieces for the evening.

These were available for those wanting extra protection
while serving themselves.

Wendy and Chuck created these
toothpick skewers for the appetizer table.

They made my Tortilla Spirals look festive.

Hubby set up the Cornhole boards and bean bags,
and sanitized the darts and dartboard.
All the guests were content to just sit and visit...
I guess we’re all getting “old”.

Fresh blueberries added to the cherry pie filling
adorned the top of the Black Forest Mini Cheesecakes.

We ended the evening by singing Happy Birthday
to the Honored Host along with the dessert.

Another reason to celebrate the day...
It has been five years since these two tied the knot.
I borrowed this lovely photo from Emily’s Instagram Post.

Sunday was Hubby’s actual birthday.
It was great to have a morning for the Birthday Boy to sleep in
and I had a chance to put away the Party Paraphernalia.

We closed out the weekend with good friends and dinner at the lake.
It was a lovely evening to sit on the patio.

Thank you to everyone that sent Greetings,
that chatted with us on FaceTime,
and celebrated in person.

Stay Safe and Well, Everyone.

Take care,
~Natalie

Are those citrus bowls serving pieces? I need to know. I love them!! Happy birthday to your hubs! Mine is coming up quick but we have zero plans. I can't really get my head around the day looking different than any other day.
