While my real BD is March 27th, we actually celebrated on April 4th. First I record the breakfast (which was soo good!).
Mom got me roses for the day (my favorite flower!) and they were very attractive indeed... Here Patricia peers through the roses...
Elizabeth and Mother.
Mary, although I must say the picture is rather ruined by Dad's funny face in the background.
Trish again!
Then we did a favorite: played monopoly! I did not win, and I actually went out first (rotten luck) but then M and P were done, so I took their place, took out Dad, and then Robert beat me :) Fun fun...
The sissies. Yes, I am now wearing glasses (this is the first post where I have them on) and have to wear them for the rest of my life! :(
Play
Everyone is smiling so beautifully in this one!
Dad, multi-tasking for once.
How cute! Nice, Trishie!
Mary, no doubt laughing at one of Robert's corny jokes *wink*That night was my BD party! Had about 30 people over...
The BD girl :)
Art.
Dear Val and her papa.
The twins and Uncle Mike.
Come on, Nat, you're not at the Marine Base! Robert thinks he's at a party. What a nerve!
Ellie and Felecia having a laughing moment.
How many girls can fit in one picture? L-R: Ellie, Fia, Amy, Mary.
Holly and Ellie.
Nice bunny ears, UM.
Fia and I. Love you girl!
The guys hanging out.
Amy and her parents :)
An artsy food picture probably taken by Mary.
This is when I'm opening presents and everyone is staring at me. My very favorite part of the whole night *not!*
A lovely card by the Einarsons.
A "Friends forever" picture. How very sweet... Much thanks to the Wondolowski sisters.
Felecia, Katie, Valerie. Friends forever...
Yay for money! Thanks UM.
This card played a song. Yeah, I know! *wink*
After a prayer time for me, Dad hugged me :)
Last we all played Mao. Since the first rule about Mao is that it can't be talked about, I will say no more. Only this: IT ROCKS. It's like my favorite game (but Monopoly and Cashflow are also my favorites so...). Here Amy and Melissa apparently have their thinking caps on (good idea!). This was Dad's group (him and I were "Mao Masters" and had our own tables in which to teach the unfortunate newbies).
My table! The victims are getting crazy...
Nat (middle) actually got it fairly quickly... Eric, (laughing in the yellow shirt), um, yeah. That's all I'll say.
The Mao Master in her element: complete control! *evil laughter* :)
Back to Dad's table. A rather full hand...
Well, it was an awesome party. Thanks to my family for putting it together, and thank for coming everyone else!
