Awake: 5:55am Temp 45 sleep 5+49 partly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
We must visit the Foote Family today for (2) good reasons: for Andrew's 5th birthday & to spend more time with Nick & family before they leave for Seattle tomorrow morning.
We skipped the KK meeting & started our journey toward the Foote Castle. 1st of all, I wanted to have prints made of our family photo yesterday & 2nd, I wanted to visit the State Liquor store & bring a bottle of wine for today's good cheer.
Well, the photo printing machine was very time consuming & the usual State Liquor store had moved to an out-of-the-way location due to new construction. That took even longer because many people were in line with bottles for New Years Eve. However, when we finally arrived at the castle, everyone was cheerful & having a good time. The boys had changed into their Ninja outfits & were going around scaring us peon seniors.
While the Ninja guys were busy with us, Momoko was sharpening her teeth on some Legos.
Meanwhile, back @ the dining room table, the crowd was gathering for Andrew's birthday party. There is not just (1) cake, but (3) for this gentleman.
If you look closely, from top to bottom, you will see: Happy... Birthday... Andrew spelled out on the snowman cake.
Just look @ that smile!
Those tricky candles, they come back to life so easy...but I think windy Andrew has mastered the challenge.
Then we were each served a slice of delicious made-by-Melissa ice cream cake. Later, after the boys finished their cake, Andrew with the help of Matthew, started opening the presents. This was a little chaotic & decent picture taking was challenging.
However, this special sleek limousine was gramma's contribution.
After the smoke cleared, I wondered what Nathan was thinking?
Late evening dinner: Ham with Como bread, mixed salad & some wine.
We also included some political discussions, high tech small computer talk & the Kindle vs the Nook electronic books.
We again thanked Nick & Eriko for surprising us in such a wonderful fashion that made our Christmas better than we ever imagined. We wished Nick, Eriko, Jerry & Momoko a safe & comfortable flight back to Seattle.
Lights out: 12:46am.
