July 28, 2010 - Happy Birthday to you...

Twenty years ago today my youngest child was born. How can that 20 years have gone by so fast??? Sometimes we have a big family barbecue, but this year we decided to do something different. We went to a downtown Thai restaurant, to give W a taste of a place we really enjoy, and thought he would too. We went into the restaurant, and it was empty! A lady came out and said they closed at 2:00! (we were there at 2:30). But then, she said sit down, you can eat. We all ordered the lunch special - egg roll, phud thai, coconut chicken curry and rice. We were so happy that she invited us to stay. Two more groups wandered in and she fed them too! This was Me Kong in Oly. Walker loved it!

Hot jasmine tea and fortune cookies!

And we will never forget the day we got our refrigerator delivered!

W's 20th birthday!

What a relief.

Here is our ice cream cake in the new freezer section of our refrigerator.

We invited mom and pop over to help us eat cake.

It was great! (Safeway!).

The blue icing turned our teeth and tongues very BLUE!

There isn't a lot we can give W for his birthday, he doesn't have room for a lot at college.

We got him a bunch of clothes and some neckties - a knife kit, and a wal-mart gift card so he can stock up on some things once he gets back to Hillsdale.

This is how we like to celebrate our special family days.

Some food,

some gifts,

dessert.

a nice evening together.

He tried on a tie to be funny and then had to endure getting his photo taken.
