Day Three Hundred Fifteen

Celebrate!


Daughter Kelly doesn't turn 33 until tomorrow, but we partied a day early. We ate supper at El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant this evening, and her dad let our server know it was her birthday (well, almost). So toward the end of the meal, they set the ceremonial sombrero on her head and sang their happy birthday song, in Spanish, of course. She should have seen it coming, but "Conchita" was taken totally by surprise. (Cell phone camera picture--always grainy in a dark setting)

Thirteen family members gathered around the table in our little dining room and sang the birthday song to the birthday lady. We enjoyed the best cake made by daughter Holly's friend, Tammy. After Kelly opened her presents, we somehow got into a paper wad war. (Sister Ann and grandson Elijah were the instigators) That was great fun. All our family birthday parties are fun. Happy (early) 33rd Birthday, Kelly!! Will post more tomorrow ...
