We get back from our Alaska trip and home around midnight or later. Monday around 8:30am Beth calls to invite us over for dinner that night to celebrate birthdays. Since she told us they would be serving steak--we decided we could go.
It was a fun evening of the kids jumping on the trampoline, a lot of eating, and cupcakes (which Joe and Danny had made at Grandma's house). Then a time for presents (No presents for Troy, I guess once you hit 42, your birthday isn't as exciting to everyone as a 1 year old and a 5 year old). Casper sure enjoyed having his cousins around playing with his new toys. Joe felt that Casper should leave his presents at his house--he said Casper could then come and visit and play with them.--We took them home anyway!--But it sure was an idea! :)
Bryan got the job of grilling the steaks--they were yummy, and the kids got hotdogs--I guess their palette isn't as refined as ours, and so they thought they were just as good as steak! And, to top it off, everyone (meaning all the kids and Troy) got a candle on their cupcake, which was neat--as Casper was the only one not understanding how to blow it out.

CeaThe song:
Everyone gets a candle
Only interested in ice cream
Time for Presents
Trying to open one
Watching the presents get open
Cheese
The audience Danny, Joe, Victoria, Grant

Samantha opening her gifts
Cool--ribbon!
A bear from Grandma
A police car!--that makes noise
Troy finally getting to eat his ice cream and cupcake (and coffee)
showing Casper how cool his presents are!
Yup, they must have been awesome toys!
hmmmm, now Casper is without a toy--but he seems to like watching his cousins!
Playing inside once everyone has left (but us)
oooooh, they have swords that hurt when you wack someone--watch out dad!
