Kourtney Kardashian's 45th birthday week featured a host of sweet celebrations and tributes from all her family members and closest friends, although none was more precious than husband Travis Barker's.

The 48-year-old Blink-182 drummer prepared a lavish gesture for his wife, which saw her name "KOURT" spelled out in silver balloons outside their private plane.

However, Kourtney took fans inside the planned tribute, and while grand in scope, she revealed that in preparing the gift for her, the letter "U" flew away, just leaving "KORT" behind.

Still, it seemed like the star was just as enthralled with her husband's sweet surprise as they were snapped in Travis' tribute smooching outside the plane with the letters behind them.

Travis included many other shots, from the adoring (lounging on their yacht, Kourtney cozying up to their baby Rocky) to the comedic (Kourtney unwrapping presents in bed, leaning over the toilet with her dress hiked up).

The musician penned in his tribute: "Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife, soulmate and best friend forever. I love you, I love our life together. Thank you for being the most amazing wife a person could ask for."

"Here's to many more years of adventures together," he concluded, to which Kourtney responded: "Husband of my dreams. I love our life!!"

Her sisters Kim and Khloé, plus mom Kris Jenner, were all front and center with their loving words for the mom-of-four as well, with Kris leading the charge with several childhood photos.

"What in the world is happening, time is twirling so fast and I can't believe you are 45!!!" she wrote. "Well you have grown into the most beautiful and amazing daughter, wife, mommy, sister, auntie and best friend a girl can have."
