Birthday Celebration

Well, this is how it all began. . . . . .




We celebrated Dad's (50th!!) and Curt's birthdays Saturday night. Curt brought the ingredients over and the chopping and preparing started.

Dad is happily anticipating the seafood in the Italian dish Curt is making!

Here we are . . . . . feasting down a very delicous meal, Italian Risotto, Oriental Salad and Parmesan Onion rolls (created in my new breadmaker). Curt prepared two kinds of Risotto, a seafood variety and for those of us who aren't so brave- a chicken version. All the non-seafood lovers had to agree, the shrimp and scallops were actually very good!

The Risotto was a tempting combination of peppers, tomatoes, a special kind of rice, onions, asparagus, parmesan cheese, broth and a host of other flavors- topped with grilled chicken or shrimp and scallops and parmesan cheese.

Levi and Polly . . . . . getting acquainted.

It was a good old dog party. Izzy came along too.

After the dishes were washed and put away, it was time for FARKLE. This is the 2nd time we've played FARKLE, it is a fun game to play with a group of people. Lots of laughter and excitement!

Dana had to study between turns. She is busy trying to get as much homework in as possible before she leaves to go see Brent.

Jill's niece, Shayla (sp), joined us for the evening.

Tyler is still suffering from after-affects of the the concussion and neck injury.

The birthday cake was Layered Angel Food Cake.

Since Levi is the only little grandbaby and nephew living nearby, he gets plenty attention! Love those nostrils : )

And Levi loves PAPA best!!
