John's 30th Birthday Celebrations

Well, it's finally happened. John's 30 years old. He's taking it very well. 30 is the new 20 you know!

He celebrated his birthday on 2 days. On Wednesday, his actual birthday, he opened presents from my family and had a birthday cupcake before we all headed over to BJ's in Cerritos for a happy hour celebration with family and friends. Everyone had a great time hanging out.

Then last night we had a big birthday bash for him at his aunt's house. There was quite a turn out and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. John did a lot of the pre-planning but his parents really jumped in and helped everything come together. They also put together a slideshow of John through the years. It was really fun to watch.

John said that he definitely enjoyed both days of celebration. I'm so glad! I wanted it to be special for him and something he would look back on with good memories.

Today he bought himself one final birthday treat - a Playstation 3. He's been dying to get it but I told him he had to wait until after his birthday in case he got lucky and someone bought it for him. It did not materialize Wednesday or last night so we hit up Best Buy today and now John's 30th birthday is officially complete.

(I'll post more pictures later but these are all I have for now.)
