The Birthday Party

So Saturday was a great birthday. David and I spent the morning together, and he gave me my awesome and shiny new bday gift - a polaroid camera. yipee! Then we went to work at the local Sharefest festival in Como (a really poverty stricken area of Fort Worth) - my job... paint little girls' fingernails. So fun.

Afterwords we ran errands together, and then came home to prep for muh party! Due to the rain we had to set up some tables inside, but everyone fit perfectly! We had a long table and passed around food Thanksgiving-style. And boy did it feel like Thanksgiving - the food was awesome.

The Menu:

The food was so good! And since the original plan had to alter due to weather (David had a projector and a sheet ready so we could watch a movie under the stars... rain check, literally), we all hung out indoors and played games. It was a great way to start the 24th year.
