happy birthday pops!!!

64 proud and noble years old!!!


here's dad banging the gong at mongolian barbecue to announce and celebrate his own birthday! just kidding, he didn't actually announce anything but banging this thing a few times added to our loud and lively discussions was probably more noise than anyone in that restaurant bargained for!we had a huge and delicious feast. here are dad and mom probably laughing at something embarrassing and ridiciulous that one of them said.insane fullness requires a rest against the wall. emily apparently made the wiser choice to stop eating before that point, so she is content to gaze into the distance.here's our whole gang except momma who took the picture. we had a real blast. i didn't mean to include this next one but it shows the manic quality of the evening.



so maybe i'll go ahead and include this one too. classic photo concern on faces--

back at my house we played Scene-It and addie made dad a cake. here she is presenting it:and he's happy!

sylvan even got to help out with the cake consumption!

it was a really nice night and we love you so much pops. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! let's do some good solid hikes this year and keep you younger and younger all the time! YOU ARE THE BEST DAD A CRAZY GROUP OF KIDS COULD EVER WANT!
