Superhero Birthday Bash!

Friday evening was a little out of the ordinary…in a very good way :)

Jeff and Jackie decided to throw a Superhero Birthday Bash for Jeff’s birthday this year, and we gladly complied. We had a great evening together as a family, laughing and enjoying each other’s goofy costumes. I’ve never felt more like an adult :)

To really get us in the mood, Jeff and Jackie came up with these clever labels for the various dishes. I thought it inspirational and creative, and they’ve set a new precedent for all future birthday’s in the family!

Here is the New York Style Cheesecake that Rich and I made as Jeff’s official birthday cake, dubbed by Jackie as the “cheesecake of destiny”.

Rich was Clark Kent, and he gave the camera a little glimpse into his true identity…

Here’s the birthday man, who was Mr. Fantastic, complete with a wig!

Randy and Susan, Mr. and Mrs. Incredible! Three of the four kids are below, but Ben lost the superhero costume so soon after arriving that Rich didn’t even have a chance to capture him as “the flash!”

And here’s the whole superhero crew…

I was supergirl…in pajamas. Or retired. Or pregnant. Whatever you want to call it. I wanted to be comfy, and I couldn’t bring myself to shell out $50 for an adult sized supergirl costume at the party store! :)

Happy, happy birthday, Jeff! We hope you have an incredible year, filled with superhero adventures!

    Ha! Those were hilarious! HA! I am still laughing. Wish I could have been there. I wonder who I would have chosen to be…Maybe Procrasta-woman. Night Owl. Or Slacker-girl. It is way too late to be up doing homework. I am too old for this. Love you! Up, up and away to my studies.

    That is so not my hair everyone. It is my massive chest and six-pack, but not my hair. Rich thanks for taking awesome photos of my b-day. Let everyone know that I do have a workout video coming out. It’ll be called Mr. Fantastic’s One Week Six Pack Abs.
