Shaun's 30th Golden Birthday Celebration!!

The day was busy spent running errands.  To the grocery store to pick up a few last minute supplies for the evening festivities, to the bank to drop off the property tax (uck!), to work to do a few things, to the other bank to deposit some money, to our adopted grandparents to borrow the truck to take the brand new, broken snowblower in to get fixed, to the barber to get Shaun's haircut, back to the grocery store to pick up forgotten supplies, and finally back home to get ready to go out!  Phew!  Sounds exhausting just typing it!

When 6 p.m. rolled around we were out of the house!  Off to El Mezcal to start the fun!

Rollcall:  Shaun, Mel, Brad (#2), Lucie, Leanne, Drew, Val, April, Keith, Syd, Andy, Connie, and Syd's cousins, Wylla, Kelly, and Sumi.  Yep that's a lot!  So I figured we should all wear name tags.  But someone thought it would be a brilliant idea if we wore someone else's name!  Very confusing by the end of the night!

The birthday boy...wearing the birthday necklace but not the birthday hat!  Shame on him!  But, it's his birthday so he can do whatever he wants!  That's what I kept telling him all day....

They put a cactus in the big jug!  No more trying to see if Leanne will fit.  Shucks!

Clean plate!  Always seems to happen at El Mez!

Our waiter was such a good sport.  He had such an American name so we decided to give him his own name tag...Julio!

Me and Leanne photo bombing the other large group that was there!

Not sure what this was all about.....

Leanne must have said something to warrant a head smush!

Shaun's birthday fried ice cream....got passed down the table as it doesn't taste the greatest after margaritas

Leanne's interviewing groupies who went back to the hotel with Ying or was it Yang?

We were the last ones out of the restaurant (our goal) and went home to dance it up!  Keith brought his Wii and Shaun rented Just Dance, the Michael Jackson Experience, and Trivial Pursuit.

Let the games begin!

And one of the last of the evening:

After a long night of drinking, dancing, keeping track of Sadie, my neck hurt...so I iced and well fell asleep.... 

All in all it was a great day! I don't think it could have went any better :)
