Tonight we went over to my brother-in-law's and his fiance's house, Chris and Layla. We were there to celebrate the 24th anniversary of Grandpa Gary's 40th birthday (in other words, his 64th). We had a wonderful time! Joe, Savannah, and Marilyn were all there. Layla prepared this awesome crock pot roast and baked potatoes with all the fixings. Sarah and I brought orzo pasta salad and potato salad. We had chips and dip, we had drinks, Layla bought everyone their own cake, it was great.
Joe and I spent some time trying to figure out the Rubik's Ice Cube (aka Mini Cube), which is supposed to be the easiest of the Rubik blocks to solve. It's only 2x2x2, but we couldn't work it out. We played a little Halo 2, which I did work out. :) Gary opened his cards and gifts. We gave him a digital photo frame that cycles through pictures, which you can load from a memory card or right from your own computer. Chris and Layla got him a really cool water fountain. I love the idea of having a fountain at our house, too, so we'll have to look for one sometime.
The day today was a little hectic leading up to dinner since I had a BUSY work day and we were trying to get things in order before going to the party, but boy was it a nice way to end the evening. It's great to get out with friends, which we don't do all that often, and to have a safe, kid-friendly place with other people who have young children and know how to help watch after them. Very nice time. I snapped a few photos.
