Happy Birthday!

One of our five sons turns another year older today! Monday nights are just not good for birthday parties, so we had the celebration on Saturday night, with 13 of us gathered to toast his new year. The eight adults have become such good friends, partially resulting from our church's dinner groups, called Suppers 8, designed to put four couples together to get to know one another better. We already knew Beth, Harold, Rachael, and Dennis, as well as our kids, of course, but when the blind drawing put all of us together in the Suppers 8 group, the frivolity really began! We have had All-American, Italian, German, Mexican, and seafood dinner parties that have outcooked even Rachel, Giada, and Emeril! We have laughed until tears streamed down our cheeks! In short, the company has been absolutely extraordinary! The party for the Birthday Boy was no exception, and the 5 grands enjoyed it, too! Happy, happy Birthday, Mr. T! We love you!
