Jared's Birthday - 31 Flavors of Jared

This year, Jared turned 31!!!  So, we decided to celebrate all things "Jared" for his birthday.  The day before Jared's actual birthday, Alia and I took him out on a "date" doing something he loves, bowling!  This was a blast, and Alia really had a good time.  We even let her bowl her own frame (with help from Mom, Dad, or the metal thing that you can roll your ball down).  :)  Then, we took him to Coldstone for some yummy icecream (another Jared favorite).  But that's not all...

...Then on his actual birthday, we threw him a part with probably 25-30 of our friends (including their kids) - it was a madhouse!  The party was the 31 Flavors of Jared (in lieu of Baskin Robbins).  And here's was we served:

1. Hummus, 2. Baba Ghanouj, 3. Carrots, 4. Celery, 5. Grape Tomatoes, 6. Chicken Wings (hot, mild, and Eastern Carolina style), 7. Bleu Cheese, 8. BBQ Bratts, 9. Spicy Brown Mustard, 10. Horse radish, 11. Tofu Lasagna Rolls, 12. Homemade Chex Mix, 13. Salt and Vinegar Chips, 14. Chili Cheese Fritos, 15. Homemade Toffee, 16. Oreos, 17. Gummy Bears, 18. Nuts, 19. Sour Patch Kids, 20. Peanut M&Ms, 21. Andes Mints, 22. Garlic and Jalepeno Stuffed Green Olives, 23. Watermelon and Cantaloupe, 24. Canary Melon and Sprite Melon, 25. Blueberries, 26, A&W Root Beer, 27. Cranberry Ginger Ale, 28. Chocolate Milk, 29. NY Style Cheesecake,

We also had 30. Rush music playing, and 31. Alia and I were there! :)

Sound like something Jared might like?
