Sorry it took so long for me to post a blog about Anthony's surprise early 30th Birthday party, this week seemed to get lost being busy/tired and going to bed very early.
Saturday morning I woke up early and called Anthony upstairs ( he thought my water broke). I told him I had a surprise for him and handed him a packet I had made. I wanted to plan something for him early to celebrate his big birthday as I know that when April 9th rolls around we may be a mommy and daddy!!
I started planning this event back in December. I had invited about 15-20 people down to CT to attend dinner at Jimmy Buffets and then back to our house for cake and a slumber party.
I had an idea to rent a limo but didn't realize the cost that would be. Luckily Uncle Adam has " connections" at Stoneham Ford and drove down to CT in a lovely 15 passenger van. Please note the picture below as we were very excited to relive our van ride through Harlem....
Around 5pm people starting arriving and we had some light snack and drinks. Then we piled into the van around 6pm and headed to Mohegan Sun.Im pretty sure I did a terrific job driving the van, perhaps now we can get one!!!
We were also celebrating Stephanie's birthday as she just turned 30 two weeks prior. I picked up some "leis" and blinking buttons that told the world the two of them were turning 30. They kept trying to loose these accesories, but I would always find them!
I had made reservations for Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville for dinner. They reserved a table for 15 on their indoor "porch". We ordered some nachos to start as we waited for Kim and Bryan who had just landed from their cruise!!! This is where I think Stephanie, Adam, and Anthony decided to pick out their shots for the evening....4 shots later!
Most people ordered the famous " cheeseburger in paradise" for dinner and sampled a variety of margarittas, I had water. There is a balloon man who walks around on stilts embarassing people and making weird balloon hats. He told the restaraunt that Anthony was turing 30, then made the table lovely baloon hats and baloon corsages for the ladies :-)
After dinner the waitress brought Anthony and Stephanie some ice cream sundaes and we sang yet again!
Here is a group shot of everyone..
When we left Margarittaville we split for about an hour, some people gambled, others walked around. Trish was the big winner of the evening with $53.00!!!! We regrouped again at 10:30 at Leffingwell's bar. ITs a really neat martini bar where the celiing changes to look like a sky equip with clouds, sun, moon, stars etc. Most people sampled the variety of martinis while I rested with my glass of organge juice straight up. I think we were at this bar until about midnight, then it was time for Ben and Jerry's ice cream!!!!
We arrived back at Casa Favry around 1am just in time for birthday cakes...note the plural.
Most of us went to bed by 2 but some stayed up to watch the Gladiator.
Sunday morning Anthony made everyone a nice breakfast of eggs, bacon, and bagels and we all hung around and watched movies and tried to wake up. Chelsea was busy playing with her cousins Frye and Foxie...
It was a fun night. Thank you everyone for coming, everyone had a great time.
I was sure exhausted sunday and ended up napping from about 1-5:30, Jackson really sucks the engery out of me!!!!
Happy Early 30th Anthony in case I forget in April...haha. Love you!

The van was awesome! It was equipped with emergency exit windows that all you had to do was hit a red button and they fell out. I also liked the metal pole and the aisle for the beverage cart to pass through. My favorite van story was Adam yelling out "Bus driver, move that bus!"
Kristin forgot to mention that I won $105.00 from scratch tickets that Michael and Stephanie had given me, through Kristin is trying to claim the prize as hers.
You did an awesome job planning the party Kristin and an even better keeping it a secret from me! I had a great time and many laughs. I appreciate everyone who came! Maybe we can have another in April!!!!
It looks like everyone had a great time, Kristin...that was so sweet of you! Happy early Birthday, Anthony! :)
