I made all of the decorations by hand (except the balloon bouquets) using my Cricut machine and printer. These were quotes about middle age and turning 40.
I had fun looking for these!
The banner.
Brian's parents rented a community center across the street from their house. It worked out perfectly!
The cake and cookies table. Brian's cousins, Jennifer and Lori, made the delicious cookies in the shape of 40's. Brian's mom ordered the cakes which were (in the back) a Turtle cake that when you cut into it, oozed out caramel (so so good!), a chocolate cake with chocolate custard (in the center with the 40's on it), and a lemon raspberry (in the front), which was my favorite.

Pinwheels and a meat/cheese tray
Fruits, veggies, chips, and pretzels
All ready!

Looks like it was a great day! We are so sad we missed it. We thought of you though knowing it was taking place. :)
