We were at my parents house today with the whole family, except for Will. His IB syndrome was acting up on him. We celebrated Cathie, Kris and Dan's birthdays. Per the picture, Jon thought he should be the one to blow out the candles. We had our normal water-fight, we hung out and ate a lot. The guys made their ususal best-buy run while the kids all played together and were spoiled by Grandma. My brother Dan had just gotten back from China and brought lots of stuff for the kids, including Yu-Gi-Oh cards, which they loved. As a gift, he received this giant box of Moon Cakes. It was huge, done in ornate gold-leaf packaging, and turned out to be nothing but a glorified fruitcake (the moon pie, not Dan). It had something that resembled a worm in it, but Kris was the only one bold enough to eat it.


Shortly after we cut the cake, Jon thought he should be the first to get a piece. My sister in-law Kris proceeded to grind the cake into his face, leaving a large chunk up his nose. You can see the rest of the pictures here.

The kids start school tomorrow and I'm off to Kansas City for a couple of days. Yeehah!
