Friendsgiving 2015

This year we got to host our annually "Friendsgiving" dinner at our home. We were so excited. Chase loves cooking the turkey and I just love the fall smells and decorations! Mini pumpkins are just the cutest! So by the time the house was decorated and the turkey was done, my voice was gone. I mean, if you know me you know I love to talk. And loudly. So having a house full of wonderful people and not being about to chat my little head off was torture. But the party was great and the food was delicious. I am so thankful that we have found this amazing group of people to do life with. 

Here are a few snaps that I took of the decor and food

Chase is breaking thirty!

So my hubby turned thirty this past october and I really wanted to give him a super fun birthday. We tossed around a few ideas and we landed on just throwing a bash at his parents house and inviting our friends over. I knew I wanted to pick a theme( oh how I love to theme it up!) that was totally him. About two months ago chase and his dad got really into the show breaking bad. I think they watched the whole series in like a month. Chase was always so excited when he talked about it so I thought it would be cool to incorporate that into his party. I searched Pinterest and found a few ideas and I just  worked from there. My inlaws are also amazing and had some great ideas of their own too! 

This was all Chase's idea. Four person beer bucket. And of course the breaking bad sticker on the bucket! 

Picked up some succulents (show is set in New Mexico)and made some little signs with sayings from the show. 

Mugshot photo wall with photo props : plastic gloves, goggles, wants beard, glasses, and a gas mask.

Pin the face on Gus!

Printed out a better call Saul poster for the garage. 

So I read somewhere that Aaron Paul loves these breaking bad doughnuts from this place in LA, so we made our own. 

Breaking bad played all night on the tv.
