boot turns 70

boot hunt turned 70 on friday!

we ate, we sang, we loved and we celebrated

boot and all his awesomeness.

i made a cornbread casserole. it was a hit.

sue made boot's favorite vanilla cake with fudge gauche frosting.

we made cupcakes too.

and we had an ice cream sundae bar:

heath bar pieces, crumbled oreos, m&m's, walnuts and sprinkles,

chocolate syrup and whip cream.

tom gave my dad a play by play on some amazing play

from back in the day.

70 is the new 40, so we went with black & white decor.

the kiddos were tearin it up in the buckert's fabulous new basement.

owen has the coolest playroom and the tile floor is perfect.

everything matt & sue picked out is just beautiful.

charlie and claire really liked the horsey.

here's the sweet note boot wrote on the ice cream sundae table.

it was a super sweet shout-out to everyone.

slim & his sisters made the most amazing photobook of childhood photos.

boot loved it so much. everyone cried.

hope your 70th year is your best yet, boot!

xoxo

as boot always says: i love you to more than infinity!
