Happy Birthday Nugget

Ryan is 26 today so of course that means yet another celebration for the week. The beginning of July is a crazy month as far as birthdays and stuff are concerned... The day started out a little slow. Jamie and Jeff got back from New York this morning and Jamie and Aunt Lois came over to finish getting Ryan's gifts ready while Jeff and Ryan went to the store to get the stuff Jeff needed to make his baked Mac and cheese. Jamie took this time to hand out our purses she got in NY. I love mine....

Once they all arrived everyone but Ryan headed to the mall for shopping. Yes we went shopping on Nugget's B-Day. Now anyone that knows Ryan knows Shopping is a swear word to the guy which is why he opted to stay home while we went over to check out what was happening at the Macy's that is going out of business and has everything 30% off. I got a couple of shirts and pairs of pants. Jamie and Jeff both got a shirt.

When we got back to the house MomMom and Ryan were deep in a game of Skipbo and they took a break long enough for Ryan to open his gifts,which consisted of a lot of shirts and a sweater he doesn't like but I think he looks really good in. MomMom got her presents from Jamie and Jeff since they were not here yesterday, and then Jamie and Jeff got a gag gift of paper products for their first anniversary.

After the presents there was a brief game of Wiffle ball where second base was a pile of poo left behind by the neighbors dog. Then it was time for Dinner. We grilled burgers and hot dogs. We also finally managed to get a family picture taken by using the tripod. Not an easy task with this group to get everyone to cooperate for the picture.

After Dinner Jamie, Jeff, Ryan, Aunt Lois and MomMom went to see the world war II memorial where poppy's plaque is. Mom and I stayed behind so we didn't have to take 2 cars. Once they got back we had Ryan's Birthday cake which was a dairy queen cake that he wanted.

Then we set off our own fireworks finally. That was fun. Sadly the end of the day meant saying goodbye to everyone since thy all head home tomorrow. I will get to say goodbye to Nugget though tomorrow when I drop him off at the airport at like 5:30am.
