Birthday party

Fun birthday party for Kevin:

Reading card from parents


Yummy strawberry scented candle

Opening gift from grandma - awesome picture!


Opening the helicopter from Keith & Jen


Turns out this one didn't work, so we replaced it with a nice yellow one that does work (Click here to see video)


So excited about sweater & socks from me :)


But he does look good in his new sweater


Challah - eat up!


Snow Chucks (one for each of us, for a fair fight) - neighbors thought it was so cool they came out to play too.


Party in the house

I had invited over 30 people, and about 25 showed up. Most had little kids age 10 and under. We don't need kids toys, we have stairs! And cats!


Cute babies for the adults to pass around


Two big pots of beans, one pot of cheese sauce, 5lb of chips, olives, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, peppermint brownies, apple pie cake, nut bars - yum! (note to self: 30 people won't eat 5 quarts of sour cream. Get less!)

We had a great time. Totally surprised Kevin. Filled every chair in our house. Ate tons of food. Laughed at the kids playing together. One little guy walked up to the Christmas tree and just started kicking it - for no apparent reason. Another took a header into the Christmas cactus. Only broke one little limb of the cactus.



(Kevin did get presents from others of you, but sorry, I didn't get those on camera.)
