We celebrated mine, Emily's and Andrew's birthdays yesterday coupled with Steve-O's first communion. The picture on the left is Drew's birthday gift of an air-soft gun (wow, does he have a cool uncle or what?) along with candy and a book that I thought he'd dig (recommended by Noel who just LOVES Christian fiction, especially about end-times). We hung out at Dan and Kris's, had Sushi (drew's favorite) and ice-cream. We sat around and talked most of the time, doing a ton of laughing while the kids played outside. Dan showed us his new TV and the AT&T U-Verse TV/Internet system which is rather cool. Jon and Beth were in town buying a house in Grand Rapids in preparation for their big move in June but we just missed them as they left around 1.
On top of a book and a giant bag of starbursts, we got Steve-O a number of very wonderful religious icons (from the greatest Dollar Store in the world - Dollar Tree) that he will have forever. You can tell from the look on his face that he far prefers these to any candy or money he might have received. The woman at the dollar store thought these were a wonderful choice, until Nate explained to her that we were getting these things as a joke.
Now that she's got new glasses, Susan has been trying to find her own "look". I'm not sure she's got it yet. The second picture could be one of the best pictures ever of Susan.
You can see the rest of the pictures of the event here.

How come you aren't showing off your birthday present?
With all the mention of birthdays, no blog about celebrating mine, hm I guess I am not as important as your family, or maybe you didn't have as much fun getting burned by the fire pit at our house.
One might think that Em is not very important to you either based on your lack of phone call or blog post about her... For the record, i did reference our visit to you on facebook.
Like I said, your real family gets a whole blog post, I get a one liner.
FOR THE RECORD, I don't blog about my blood relatives birthday......
Way to deflect....
