Friday Night Birthday

Our friend Amy had her birthday Friday and we were lucky enough to be invited to do dinner with her and her family! Dan was on his way home from his trip and since we were having a wicked storm, his plane got diverted to another airport in Thailand to refuel and he didn't get home until 4 1/2 hours after we thought he would. Even without him, we had a great night and great food...plus a lot of kid antics - which is to be expected with 7 kids around!


Everyone wanted to be a part of getting in the pictures with Amy - and with helping her blow out candles. They even had to be relit because the littlest didn't get to blow and totally lost it... :)


We brought Amy just 10 balloons for her birthday...36 would have been too many to fit in the car in the middle of a storm with lightening. The littlest took them upstairs and then we heard, "Uh-oh." They had gotten wrapped around this ceiling fan and Ken had to untangle them. Not sure he appreciated me taking pictures of him doing it, but I couldn't not take it!

This was the peanut gallery watching Ken untangle the balloons from the fan :)

It was a fun night, fun to not ask every 5 seconds when Dan was going to get in and keep us busy until he got home...but most of all, just fun to be special enough to be invited over to celebrate Amy's birthday with her!

It is no surprise you made the party list - although I can see it was quite selective. How special for Amy to get to have you for a friend! It sure provided a great way for you and the kids to spend an evening with Dan's arrival being delayed and it sounded like a very fun time. Good job on the picture taking Meg (and on sneaking into a picture!)
