The cake came out great from Wal-Mart. The scanned icing photos made it a hit. Chocolate goodness
I have to brag that renting tables and chairs was brilliant - we could fit 21 adults easily into the room. It was nice having everyone together to participate. Kids were tucked into the kitchen
I don't have a picture of the tasty Tex-Mex from Miguelitos - it's all gone!!!
Fun banner to greet the birthday boy
Saturday November 12th was a success as it heralded in Ray's Dad's birthday. Here are his mom, niece, and father. He's still recovering from some surgery that slowed him down a bit. But he's on the mend and hopefully his health improves for many birthdays to come.
Hopefully many more indeed. Always great when it goes off without a hitch and a happy birthday was had.
