HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD

We had a little birthday get-together last night for dad's 46th birthday (at least that's what he refers to it as). His birthday is actually today but getting everyone together on a Sunday night is MUCH easier than on a Monday night! Here are a few highlights:
It looks like he's spitting on the pie, but it was so windy that the candles went out before I got it to him, so I made him pretend he was blowing them out. This was his 'pretending' face!

A friendly game of croquet can turn into backyard olympics when you have adult males competing against each other.

Carlos and Dormisha's son, Mishaun. How cute is he?! He would hang on to the side of the chair while Danielle rocked him.

Dad has no mercy when it comes to games...not even for mom who kept getting her ball knocked away from the posts. These two were the worst! They spent so much time trying to take each other out that the rest of the group was slowly creeping up behind them.

Danielle being the backyard babysitter.

Dormisha trying to keep up with the competition. She took 6th. Sorry, Goodrich!

Thanks for the backyard, Wayne, and thanks, Dad, for being born so as to give us a reason to come together and celebrate! And just in case you're wondering, the winning took place in this order:

1st place: Wayne

2nd place: Dad

3rd place: Carlos

4th place: Mom

5th place: Dormisha

6th place: Lilo
