A Birthday And A New Year Party

Sunday, December 30, 2012, was my sister Lauren's Birthday.  We went over to her house on Sunday for dinner and birthday cake.  The next day we went to Boondocks to celebrate her special day.  We had so much fun and are so glad she chose to include us in her celebration.

 We bowled a few games and played video games and ate pizza.


Aubrey won over 1,000 tickets from one of the games she played.  Oh the power and the joy that comes from having whatever you want behind the ticket redemption counter.  We came home with the most giant blue soccer ball and many many other semi-precious trinkets.


We played several games of laser tag.

And bowled some more


Sweet Aubrey

Not so sweet Aubrey

 Goofy Aubrey

Cute Aubrey

Lauren and my mom had already had their fill of Boondocks hours earlier.  When we got to the point that we all had pretty much had enough ourselves, Addy had a breakdown because she hadn't played in the play place yet.  So we all sat around and let her play for a while.

Emily got tired of waiting and she joined Addy.

It was New Years Eve so when we got home we had a little family party.  Steve and Addy made steaks.

Then we played some games and watched a movie.  We watched Forever Young.  You know, that way old movie that came out the year I graduated from high school with Mel Gibson where he gets frozen and then thaws out 50 years later.  Yeah.  So if you, like Steve and I, haven't seen that movie since it came out 20 years ago- be warned- there is a naked Mel Gibson booty silhouette when he first wakes up.  And if you show this movie to your innocent children, they will tell everyone they see that you made them watch a movie with a naked man in it.  I'm just sayin'.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE ELSE!
