Birthday Party Saturday
[cake]
Yesterday was the new grandpa's birthday (observed) and for the last couple of years we have tried to make it a tad less formal than other family birthday parties. Last year was the back-yard burger cook-out, so this year a bigger change of pace due to the new baby and we had take away pizza from Rosie's New York Pizza. Thanks to their email coupons we fed the capacity crowd for under $50 and lunch was ready in less than 30 minutes instead of the usual Whole Foods shopping run and hours of prep and cooking. We passed on wine this year and instead just had Archer Farms Blood Orange Italian soda from Target which seemed to be fine with everyone given the driving people were going to do after lunch.
The best part of the day, other than Dreyer's Slow Churned Peppermint ice cream & the always gorgeous and delicious traditional cake complete with buttercream roses from Greenlee's Bakery, I would have to score that as a toss-up between watching the two new 'sisters,' getting to know each other or the grandpa holding his granddaughter.
Close second would be the iPhone 3GS and (newly upgraded to v3.1.1) iPod touch surfing of PeopleOfWalMart.com and trying to find the most outrageous.
