My hubby turns the big 3-0 in September, and I have been running over the idea of throwing a small suprise party for him!!!  He came from an odd family (to say the least), and never really had any birthday parties with friends and a big celebration.  Now, I am not saying you need to spend alot of money to have a party for your child.  But I think a birthday is definately something to be celebrated, and he missed out on all that.

So, I have been cooking up some ideas on it, and more than anything, this post is to write the ideas down, and possibly get some new ideas from some of you out there!!!  One idea I have is to do a theme cake.  I was thinking a cheeseburger!!!  LOL  I have been looking them up on the internet, and it sounds so neat.  You bake two round cakes for the bun, top and bottom from yellow cake mix.  The hamburger is from chocolate rice krispie treats formed into a hamburger.  And the rest if alot of frosting!!!  Then I am thinking of making "fries and ketchup (or is is catsup???)", from sugar cookies cut into long strips and baked, and a blob of red food coloring!   What do you think?????  I will round it off with nuts and mints and some punch.  If I need to, I can make some cupcakes too.

For decorations, I am thinking a diner type theme.  Not sure how to do that just yet, but searching the internet for ideas.  Maybe a red and white checked tablecloth and such. 

Guests will be family (his and mine), and some close friends.  Not many people, because we don't have a large house, but it is always the more the merrier here too.  Some will wander outside anyway, because they will have to take a smoke, and know it isn't allowed in my house. 

I am not sure what to get him for a present.  In our family, we decide on a certain amount of money, and the birthday person chooses what they want.  But I would like to get him a small something from Noah and I for him to open at the party.

So, after reading this, do any of you have any ideas that might go with this theme???
