The big 4 0 - for Chris that is

I can hardly believe that Chris turned 40 this year. We can't be that old can we?

Chris has been planning his big 40th birthday bash for a long time and with the help of some great friends he had what he said was the best birthday ever.

Chris reserved the Family Life Center at church for two reasons: Basketball and the size of his guest list. There were over 100 people on his list and he had such a great variety of activities planned that everyone found something to do. He had basketball, including a free throw contest, volleyball and dodge ball for the adults and movies,board games, things to color and the playground outside for the kids. There was of course a lot of food and socializing but I think the best part of the night was the Dodge Ball game. They let the kids play first and then adults played a few brutal games. I toyed with the idea of playing but thought better of it after watching a couple of games. Being a spectator wasn't necessarily the safer option but it was definitely entertaining.

I am so glad that so many of Chris' friends were able to come and share this special occasion with him. After looking at the pictures it seems like everyone had a great time. To see the pictures click here.
