On his birthday, we went out to dinner at Jack Stack, one of our favorite KC BBQ joints. Turns out everyone else in KC had the same idea-- it was backed!
The guest of honor -- caught mid-chew. I'm nice like that :)
Ms Brooke -- who seemed to think it was HILARIOUS to stand up in her high-chair.
And these two -- you never know what you're going to get!!
The other cute couple -- and Q being shy.
And I couldn't believe it -- I forgot to capture of the night's most important guests -- my brother Collin! He was in town visiting -- after two years of being away. He's in the Navy so it's hard for him to get away, but was so happy to get to see him and hear his stories over the past few years. We're so proud of him and the all the hard work he's done -- and can't wait to for him to visit again!!
And Keith and Kristan wanted to come, but just having returned the day before from Dubai and Keith being in charge of a Cub Scout Pack Meeting made that a little difficult.
But we made it a whole week of celebrating! And this time, everyone was able to my other brothers, Keith and Brendan -- we also able to join in.
On Saturday, we got together for lunch for some grilling (all gatherings most involve food, of course!) And we topped it off with mom's homemade German chocalate cake!
The entite gang
The boys then heading out to the golf range to shoot some balls, one of my dad's favorite pasttimes. Unfortunately, none of the boys share his talent, but Anthony's hoping to change that now that he has an excuse/partner to "practice" with :)
Happy Birthday Dad!! And I said in my card and as I'll say again: The only thing better than having you as a Dad, is having you as a grandpop to my kids. We enjoyed it so much, in fact, we decided to have another one. So -- expect the rest of your b-day present October 2013!
