Rounding out the holidays with a birthday party

Ryan's good friend turns 30 (!) today so in honor of the big event his girlfriend threw a surprise party for him at his parents' house yesterday. A big group of us pitched in and brought food and gathered to help him celebrate.
It was gator-themed (yuck!) and there were footballs and gators everywhere. A lot of folks even sported blue and orange, but I couldn't resist and wore red to support my own team!

Some of the girls, so colorful. Don't let the pool fool you - it was chilly out!Some of the guys (sans birthday boy)There was a gator pinata filled with tiny bottles of alcohol - it took all of the guys to finally get it open!Ryan and meRyan and the birthday boy, Mike
