Birthday Bonanza

A few times a year we have a Stephenson shindig where we celebrate a bunch of family birthdays at once. Its effective and fun. Tonight we celebrated Grace turning 8, Mike turning 21 (he's still alive) and Erin... just turning :o)

Mike gave Grace fifteen $1 bills. AWESOME present for a kid. Note to mike: I want that for my birthday too.

Pat and Brande solving world problems with Mike's new puppy. His name is Bruce. If you think thats a funny, you should meet the other family dog. His name is Larry.

And you thought no one played with boomerangs anymore.

Princess Emma

Fin and Emma. Notice the princess was feeling constrained by her party clothes :o)

Paw-Paw helping Cole with his juice box. You give Cole a juicebox and he's a friend for life.

We couldn't have had prettier weather tonight. The boys were in great moods and I had about 3 different desserts so all around I'd count it as success!
