I was clearing out my cache of photos on my phone and realized that, while I had shared about Curt's surprise birthday party with his friends, I hadn't yet written about our family celebration.
Cole came up from Nashville to surprise Curt. We were so happy to have him here for the weekend and held a family gathering Sunday evening.
My nephew, Eric, lives in Lafayette and he and Curt get together a lot, so he dropped in for a BBQ and cake.
Lisa made the birthday boy a Skor cake liberally topped with carmel sauce and Skor chips.
Er, I didn't have any candles (oops!) so Curt had to pretend to blow them out when we finished singing.
Afterwards we gathered around the dining room table and played games.
I don't shuffle cards well, but I have a mechanical shuffler which is always fun to use. Except that it was on the fritz and throwing cards, flipping them, and leaving some unshuffled. Everyone else shuffles well, so when it was my turn to be the dealer, someone else shuffled for me. Hah!
Some of us also watched the Packers game. I tried but 1) someone was in my seat, and 2) that someone was also blocking the view!
At the end of the evening, Curt thanked me and then sent me a meme that he keeps handy. "This always makes me think of you, Mom," he said, "so I have kept it."
Thanks, Curt. I'm glad you shared it and I love it, too. And Happy Birthday!
