YaYa is here! She flew out for Gwyneth’s birthday, to help me with Gwyneth’s party, and join us for her birthday trip to Elitch’s.

We have a lot of family birthdays in June and July. Here we go: Me, Annabelle, Bob, Jeff, Gwyneth and Gus….in that particular order. We invited everyone over to celebrate all the birthdays together. Our gathering actually fell on Bob’s birthday, but I believe his hearing aid died so I’m not really sure if he heard anyone wishing happy birthday. I think the battery died but he could have purposefully turned it off. Sometimes it’s hard to tell…

B whipped together a great meal while YaYa and I took the girls to Andrew’s birthday party. B made hot dogs, teriyaki burgers, “Morton’s burgers”, corn on the cob, ceasar salad, potato salad and coleslaw. He even set out some appetizers. Lets just say he outdid himself. Gus and Missi brought me some rum from the Domincan, Chriss and Paul brought some homemade beer and purple and pink glitter cupcakes, Jen and Jeff brought pies, and Bob brought Carole some Sangria….which I do believe Jen hijacked to make some tonic-sprite, whiskey tonic, sangria drink which was a hit with the ladies. 

The girls each received a book, cash, and a gift card from Bob and Carole. They said they were going to put the cash in her piggy banks which didn’t make B’s mom happy because she wanted them to spend it at Claire’s, but I have to admit I was pretty proud they wanted to save their money!!
