Mom's Birthday

For a change of pace....a post with pictures...OF PEOPLE!
Crazyness. Who does this. Not me (at least not all that often)
But there were so many good pictures from last weekend, that they had to be blogged!

My little brother was excited about the spaghetti lunch!
And yes, mom is fixing/serving her own Birthday meal...oops, how did we let that happen. Oh well, we will do better next year.

Dad really is excited about the food...but sometimes he works like 18 hour days on his feet ...so, when he's not working he likes to use the minimum amount of energy required by a situation.

These are my lovely grandparents. They are both absolutely amazing people.



After the spaghetti lunch...there was cake!

Little Brother was so excited about the prospect of a rather large number of candles that be broke out the flamage before the candles had arrived. Silly boy.

Technically we didn't have enough candles. But, had this celebration taken place at our house, I am sure our smoke detector would have informed us that it was waaaay too much smoke.

Little Brother showing off the stubby candle that he used to light the rest of the candles.



As per mom's request, I skipped all the ones of her blowing out the candles.
She looked lovely in them though. She always looks lovely.


On to presents!

Mom is being social and excited about the presents
Dad, again, is utilizing bare minimum energy. Its ok though. He deserves a break
Little Brother...he...well...he's just chillaxin' I suppose

We got mom a nice, new, red towel. She loved it.
It's difficult to appreciate the amazing-ness of a new towel, unless all your current towels are as....who knows how old they are. Just trust me, fluffy new towels = great gift!

I don't know what happened here. Mom's face is intriguing enough...but then you look at Dad's face...and the real mystery begins. What were they looking at / concerned about? Who knows.

The lovely ladies.
Just missing Little Sister.



In case you are curious, Mon Amour was at the party. He was taking all the pictures. We will get him in some pictures next time.
