Daddy's Birthday Party - Lebowskifest

We threw a 30th Birthday party for Matt on Friday, the 20th. The party was themed after our favorite movie, "The Big Lebowski". Essentially about a dude, his rug, a ransomed trophy wife, and lots of bowling. Everyone dressed up as a character in the movie, and the result was a very memorable celebration for Matt's 30th.

We are lucky enough to have the most outstanding group of friends in the world. They planned the whole party, so Matt was surprised by alot of it, and I hardly had to lift a finger to prepare! They made the food, organized who was bringing what, helped us set up, and helped us clean up after wards! Our good friends, Nick and Lynn, even made the trip from Minneapolis to surprise us by showing up at our door on Friday afternoon!! To top it off, they all went together and bought Matt an Wii for his birthday! So THANK YOU to our amazing wonderful friends, who we are so lucky to have and without whom life would not be as fun - Scotty, Heather, Joel, Shawn, Bek, Alysia, Mike, Nick, Lynn, Terri, Bob, Brian, Stacie, Lindsay, Dave, Brent, Chris, Demetrius, Bonnie, Erin, Tim, Michelle, Dan, Rick, Deanna, Kate, Mike, Mindy, Buford, Fred, Amy, Steve, Wendy, Dale, and Tammy. You guys are the absolute best.

Here are some great pictures!

The Feists and the Callenders went as Maude Lebowski and the Cowboy. (This is my attempt at my most Maude-like serious face)

Penelope and Caden went as the "Little Lebowski Urban Achievers" (And proud we are of all of them....)



Wendy as "The Rug" and Dale as "Gary the Bartender"
