Douglas' birthday

Wednesday, July 2

We celebrated Douglas' 25th birthday by going out to eat at Old Town Buffet (Chinese,) his favorite restaurant. Then we went over to my family's house and opened presents, ate cheesecake, played games and watched "The Pink Panther." We played a new game I had never heard of before called "In the Manner of the Adverb." Someone from the room goes out and everyone picks an adverb. The person comes back in and picks 2 or 3 people and a scene. Then the people have to act out that scene and the person who had to go out has to guess the adverb. For example, I had to drink beer gently (that was hard,) jog clumsily and go grocery shopping frantically. Some had to fight like gladiators lovingly and others had to dig a ditch cowardly. It was hilarious!

Again, I don't know what my obsession with taking pictures of people eating is all about

Paul played a mean trick on Douglas

The squares were empty boxes

And the thingy at the top was a wire

All it was was a stick! (Yes, thank you Paul for fixing his walking stick.)
To make up for it, Paul gave him money

I gave him the shirt he wanted

And here he is modeling it

Jared brought him a box of stickers and a pencil. Only a 5-year old

Here's a card from my Grandma and Grandpa Button with a Payless gift card inside

And here's what he bought with it

A book from Josiah (and Jared's stickers on Douglas' face)

My charming husband

Blueberry cheesecake

And what's a party without Apples to Apples?
