Birthday Party

First things first, need to clean the house for the party.

First priority when Grandma and Grandpa arrive: show Grandma how to play a video on internet TV using Netflix. Done.

Second priority, do the puzzle!

Then, of course, there were some presents. [Mary's aside: this is classic monopoly, which is awesome, but there are still some differences. for example, they changed the shape of the property cards to be the same shape as a regular card -- reduces the cost of manufacturing, I'm guessing, but it is really disturbing]

The whole Scotton clan together in our new house.

The whole Scotton clan together at the table...if I tell you this was the best photo I had, would you believe me?

OK, thanks to Noelani, there are some other good photos...

Mom and Dad

Patti and Ernie

Even a photo of me!

There was some wrestling. It seems this is something boys do (who knew?!).

Grandma and her boys.

The boys playing a new game together. Ernie made up new rules to make it go faster. We like Ernie's rules.

But let's not forget the birthday cake, or in this case, mouse. Overheard at dinner: "If you don't eat your vegetables, you can't eat your mouse."

Silly Grandpa, you can't light the candle with your car door opener!

Or maybe you can! Happy Birthday, little g. :-)
