Gary's 40th

It's Uncle Gary's 40th birthday party today!  Auntie Melanie invited us all over to their place for the taco cart to celebrate!  Makayla was so excited to go to see her friend Rachee!  There were lots of other kids also so it was fun!  Auntie Melanie had a room just for the kids with coloring, movies and games!  A totally kid friendly house for sure!  It was a nice and relaxing party!

Here are all the girls kickin' it in the front yard with their taco plates!  Even Mylee had some of the meat!  Yummerz!  Mel used the same taco lady that Juliana's uses for all her parties!  Good choice!  

After the girls had their dinner Uncle Gary said they could play with the bunnies.  Yes he has bunnies.  Two of them one.  One playful, one not so playful.  Here's Makayla feeding one of them a yummy snack.  She was thrilled.  Kept on telling me how she had a bunny in class one day also.  These kids do remember everything!

Here's Gary and his friend Jerry celebrating their 40th's together.  Don't know the two guys on the left but that's Gary in the cream colored shirt in the middle and his buddy Jerry to the far right.  He had a lot of friends there to help them celebrate!
Oh boy and celebrating here alright with some shots!  Not sure what they had but Mel kept telling me not to try it.  It's very, very, very old.  I always thought liquored tasted better over time but maybe not in this case.  Instead we had a few tequila shots with one of their other friends that made is super yummy and chilled in the kitchen.  It was so smooth!  Mel also made good Sangria's that night too!  We need more chill get together's like this one!  It was fun!

Here's my husband in heaven!  Playing the Wii with a kid on the big projector screen.  Don't they look comfortable!  Gary's got stadium seating.  Pretty awesome movie theatre they have right in their living room.
Hostess Auntie Melanie with her little Mylee.  I can't believe Mylee's letting her hold her.  She's so particular as to who holds her lately.

Auntie Stace and happy, happy Mylee!  Happy Birthday Gary!  Thanks for the invite, we all had so much fun!
