For almost a full week, we have been celebrating JB's big 45th! As The Boy has recently pointed out, The Rents have embarked upon "mid-life" now. But I still feel like 25!!!
We had a small family gathering on his actual birth day. And then we celebrated with the B Family last evening at Nana's house. We always have such an amazing time! And we will continue the celebration next weekend in ATX.
Nana is always so great with picking a theme for her celebrations. This time, we brainstormed together and came up with a party surrounding some of JB's favorite things with the anchor item being Doritos! This is a pantry staple in our house.
She prepared the food and I prepared the cake and gift ideas.

| We started off with a crouton bar. He loves a good seasoned crouton dipped in a vinegar dressing. Who needs a salad or tomato soup? |
 |
Along with the crouton bar was a cream cheese ball covered in Dorito crumbs accompanied by this favorite cracker, the garlic melba.
|
For dinner, the adults enjoyed homemade chicken enchiladas and black beans. They went so fast, I didn't get a picture. Meg, I need the recipe, please!
 |
| The kids were served these amazing Dorito encrusted Chicken Nuggets! I was able to sneak a few bites and it's a true understatement to say that these were amazing! I'm going to make these later this week again here at the house. Thanks Nana!! |
 |
| The cake was vanilla with blackberry filling and covered with a 7-minute icing! It was scrumptious, if I do say so myself! |
Happy Birthday, Mr. B!! We love you!!
