Happy Birthday Troy!!!
Mom and I felt like Troy's birthday tends to get lost in the holiday happenings, so we planned a big bash this year and managed to keep it a secret from him until all our wonderful guests started showing up. We were lucky to have big turn out with some of my favorite neighbors as well as some wonderful friends of ours who we haven't spent time with for 16 years or more. Troy was thrilled and kept telling me what a great time he had visiting with family and friends and making some new friends too. The food was awesome! We had a Fiesta theme with a taco bar, chicken enchillada soup, 7-layer dip, and lots of chips and salsa. I made water punch for the first time. It was so yummy, and very easy. My favorite is to put sliced limes in it and some cranberrys for a festive color. For dessert we had pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting and blueberry crumble. MMMMMM!
