This past week has been quite the week for birthday dinners and other celebrations in our family.

Sunday 8/3 was my in-laws anniversary and my sister-in-law Claudia's birthday.  Claudia and Cuco (her long-time SO) came up from Florida last Saturday and spent the week.  We went to dinner.

Monday 8/4 was Cuco's birthday.

Wednesday 8/6 was my son Christopher's 12th birthday.  I have no idea how he got so old so fast.  We went to football practice.

Friday-08/08/08-we went to dinner for Christopher and Cuco's birthdays. It was also my brother Jim's birthday.

Saturday night, we went to a surprise party for my brother Jim--the big 4-0.  It was at the Moose Lodge, where they are members.  Everyone got an invitation to the surprise party except my brother, who got an invitation to "Moosefest".  He even made a covered dish for them to take to "Moosefest'.  It was fun, because he was completely surprised.  The last two surprise parties anyone has tried to throw for him, he's figured out ahead of time.

But, needless to say, I'm pretty partied and dinnered out at the moment.  Although, if someone offered to take me out to dinner, I probably wouldn't turn them down.  I surely do hate to cook.
