A Day of Celebrating ~ Aaron's Birthday

For Aaron’s birthday Rob took him surfing for the first time. To which Aaron has decided that the beach would be a perfect place IF it had grass & FRESH water. He thinks God made a mistake in that part of creation. We’ll let him take that up with the Maker! After surfing, Rob took him to play 18 holes of golf. Nine in the sun and nine in the rain! Aaron shares his birthday with Abigail. That being noted, he hasn’t had his own birthday celebration in about 9 years. So I decided to have a birthday supper for him with a few of our close friends. Rob & I arranged for them to arrive at the house around supper time. Aaron was pleasantly surprised with his friends being here to greet him. His first question though was, “Where are the children?” I realized later that, yeah, there are 15 children between us and that would beg the question!
The menu for his special birthday was his absolute favorite supper:
Oven Fried Chicken
Mashed Potatoes
White Corn
Fiesta Salad
Sour Cream Cheesecake
& Kool-aid

Amy puts her artists skills to the test! She did good!

Abshires, Bloemhofs x2, & Cobbs

Aaron had fun playing wii with his buddies.
