Johnathan’s 5th Birthday Party
We had a big party today. It was actually a double party. It was a 5th birthday party for Johnathan. It was also a “come see the house” party as well. We have lived here over a year and haven’t really had people over for a bunch of reasons. No furniture, no time, getting things in order, etc. We decided we would have a big party and invite everyone over.
Johnathan had a great time because it was his 1st big party. Lots of kids running around creating havoc! Not good for my blood pressure but its all in fun.
It was a bit scary because when we got up in the morning and looked outside it was raining. All I could think of is 75+ people all in the house. Maybe 30 minutes before people were to start arriving the clouds broke, the sun came out and it was like a new day had started. The weather was great!
We don’t have deck furniture just 2 benches I made out of the scrap composite boards and poly (plastic) framing. There is almost nothing on this deck I have to worry about. Its all made made stuff. We will get deck furniture next year. Paying cash for this deck is enough money for one year.
Food wise we were covered (as usual). Millie’s mom made Puerto Rican style pepper steak and rice. I made 60 empanadas and baked ziti bolognese with home made sauce (well mostly home made). Millie made chicken parmesa. Then there were ancillary things like salad and breads. We were up cooking until 5am. Everyone ate well!
