Thomas' 40th

Thomas turned 40 last month! 
Carter helped with the decorating, which included posting a little relevant math he worked on for his dad

Thomas' main present was a series of 4 fun excursions 

The night of his birthday, we went to hibachi with the family

It was the very same restaurant that Cart Cart took Thomas and Park to on their birthdays almost every year, growing up

But back then, they didn't create a personalized cake for you, complete with the picture they took of you with a fun umbrella

The night after T's birthday, we went to see a taping of Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me at the Fox

And then the Saturday night after his birthday, we had a cocktail party for T, complete with ONLY pink drinks, because they are his favorite (and he's old enough to not be ashamed)

Our friends Lance and Stephanie hosted the party (THANK YOU!) and Thomas got to share some of his favorite stories from his 40 years
It was a small gathering, but it included old friends, new friends and family

The fourth, and final, fun thing was kept as a surprise until last Friday when I picked Thomas up early from work... More on that tomorrow!

So sorry I missed the occasions where parents were invited. I am sure Thomas loved Estes Park, near where he went to music camp for several years. I for one can't believe he is 40!
