Birthday's

A couple weekends ago we helped celebrate some birthday's.

On Friday night it was Jenna's 21st birthday! We went out for Mexican, and she was even sung to with guitars and the whole bit by the Mexicans. :) Talk about embarrassing, and I know exactly where NOT to go for my birthday now! :)

Jenna and her friends...we all surprised her, she didn't know we were coming to help her celebrate! :)

The group of "kids" that were there all helping Jenna celebrate.
I know, Daniel isn't in the picture...that's because he was working, but he came over afterwards!

We went back to Jenna's house and hung out and had skillet cookies and ice cream.

Opening all of her presents like a Queen. :)

Love ya Jenna! So glad I was able to help celebrate and actually hang out with you!

Sunday we had all of Daniel's family over to the apartment for his mom's birthday. We were going to hang out on Grandview and just eat out there, but it was pretty rainy/stormy that day so we were forced inside. To say it was interesting and quite crowded is an understatement. :) Our kitchen table extends pretty well, but our kitchen doesn't exactly have the room for the big table. But we made it work. Robert & Mary weren't able to come... if they would have, I think we would've had to change locations. :)

We ate dinner in the crowded kitchen, and while we were just finishing up, the electricity went out. Hah. We decided to go to Grandview since we couldn't do much else in our apartment anyway. It was pretty chilly and windy, but it was still a gorgeous walk with the leaves.

We literally live 3 minutes away from Grandview. We go running/walking up there all the time. Pretty much anytime we do something like that.

Mom and a few of her boys

Elisabeth--she is the best! :)

Mom and the kids that were able to be there to help celebrate.

I thought the electricity would be back on once we got back...but it wasn't. So we had ice cream and sat around in the dark and talked. And I lit my one candle I have. :) They all left by 7(although they came right after church) because we couldn't see anything. I felt really bad, but there wasn't much I could do.

(this picture was taken in the pitch black)

The electricity went back on about 10pm. I learned the next morning that it went off all because of a squirrel. Nice work squirrel. Thanks for ruining our birthday celebration. :)

Oh, and a side note... yes that is our kitchen walls, that mustard yellow. And I didn't paint it that color... it was that way when we came and we didn't repaint. :) Just wanted to clarify that! :)
