Saturday we had a bbq party with friends and family to celebrate Pete's 33rd birthday. I forgot to pick up some batteries for my camera, so sadly I wasn't able to take pics (though our friend Michelle did. I'm working on getting a copy from her). We had a blast. The weather was fantastic: sun shining and over 70 degrees out! Daniel 'n Jessica with boys came, as well as Gordon 'n Michelle, Michelle's sister Jessica, and the Parker brothers, Nic 'n Nate. Aunt Janet and Franie stopped by for a short visit. It was so nice to see them! The food was delicious, as always. Pete smoked a whole chicken, and Daniel brought 5 or 6 racks of ribs for Pete to smoke as well. I was in charge of the side dishes, which everyone must have liked because there were hardly any leftovers. For dessert Pete made two strawberry chocolate eclair fantasies (they were the size of a pie). We sang 'Happy Birthday' while Daniel brought out one of the desserts with a candle on it. The outside pool opened for the season this weekend, so a majority of us went swimming (it was refreshing after sitting out in the hot sun all day). All the boys ran around playing outside, and had a blast playing and rough housing with Nic and Nate (both brothers are single w/o kids, but they were surprisingly awesome with the kids, even with baby Donavan). We socialized late into the evening. We put kids to bed way past their bedtime, then the adults watched 'The Hangover 2" (we had it downloaded). The party finally ended after midnight. We had so much fun and loved hanging out with an awesome group of friends.
The link below is to one of the pictures Michelle took and uploaded to her facebook. It's Pete holding his birthday gift from Gordon and Michelle. It's so Pete won't burn his hand again :)
