40th Birthday Party

My wonderful, loving, very young-at-heart husband turned 40 this past weekend. Here's a pic of the birthday boy by his Happy 40th Birthday sign.

I threw a nice little barbeque pool party for him with about 30 of our friends. We had great weather, a friendly crowd and tons of food. With a little help from my mom, I was able to pull off the following menu:

Appetizers:
Homemade Gaucamole
Shrimp Cocktail
Antipasti Skewers (that consisted of marinated artichoke hearts, pepperoni, marinated mixed Greek olives, and marinted mozzarella balls - all store bought and skewered up because people like food on sticks)

Cheddar Ale Spread

Main Course:
Hamburgers

Sundried Tomato Pasta Salad
Baby Greens Salad with Mandarin Oranges, Cranberries, Almonds and Shaved Parmesan

Desserts:
