Billy's Grumpy Old Man Party

"Life would be infinitely happier

if we could only be born at the age of eighty

and gradually approach eighteen."

- Mark Twain

So this past Friday I mentioned that I took a superhero party-planning detour to help my friend Carrie with the awesome last minute "Grumpy Old Men" themed shindig she hosted for her husband Billy on his 37th birthday.  It turned out to be an awesome party, with excellent company, yummy food and of course plenty of cocktails!  And though I wasn't about to set down my drink to get any real photos {wink!}, I was able to maintain beverage in one hand and iPhone in the other.  Here are the few that I snapped for you...

{This is the cake, complete with dominos, pocket watch and pipe.  As you can see, decor was a palette of tan, orange, dark brown and white, and we incorporated lots of "old men" games into the decor, along with framed quotes about old age}

{one of the grumpy old man's favorite comforts is a mojito, so of course we HAD to set up a mojito bar)

{when guests walked in the door, they found a big silver bucket and were encouraged to jot down their suggestions for Billy's ultimate "bucket list"}

{my gorgeous friend Carrie, the best hostess I know}

And I can't believe I'm showing you this one, taken in the "photo booth" Carrie's daughter set up...

{me and my honey, looking really hot in our old age}

Carrie and I had such a great time getting this little event together, to celebrate an awesome guy that we all love.  Eric and I had a ball at this party, along with everyone else.  Great job, Carrie!

And now it's back to the bat cave to continue whipping up the most super superhero party ever!
