Alan parties it up

Alan's birthday was yesterday and there is nothing my kids like more than to have parties. For a week they have been talking about his birthday and what to do for it. So we sneaked around buying party supplies and the girls decorated the house before he got home yesterday---streamers, balloons on the stair banisters, sign in the yard and hats for all. I think it turned out to be an excellent birthday and Alan seemed to enjoy the love pouring out of our two children. It didn't hurt that the USA soccer team won that morning to start his day off with a bang.  In lieu of birthday cake, the girls decided on making their own sundaes. Wow, they were good.

 OK, so there comes a time when party hats look a little weird on adults---the things you suffer through for your kids. They even planned for candles in his sundae.
