Jade’s Birthday Party

Jade turned 29 this year! The night started with a hitch when I misread the invite and Kevin and I went to the wrong venue. I knew something was amiss when I walked into the club and saw a room full of barefoot hippies (some with tambourines) clapping their hands in the air and chanting. Errrrr… where are we?

One time my aunt had a Christmas party, and no one thought to ask for her address cuz we had a vague idea where she lived and assumed we’d recognize it when we got there. So my sisters and I drove in that direction, saw only one house on the street covered in Christmas lights with flashing lawn ornaments, and assumed that must be the party. Without knocking, we opened the door and walked right in……… Only to find an Indian family quietly eating dinner. Too embarrassed to apologize and explain my mistake, I instead turned around and ran out the door, my equally embarrassed sisters following closely behind. That poor family, I wonder what they thought?!

Anyway, back to Jade’s birthday. We finally found our way to the correct party without too much embarrassment!

Max, Jade, Kevin, me! I put my blue contacts back in just for the night… don’t tell my doctor!

Kitten vs. Raccoon

This is my neighbor’s cat, Joe. He is the neighborhood mischief maker and likes to jump into peoples’ cars and walk into any house he sees fit. Well, it turns out that Joe is also a hero!

Isn’t his head so round you just want to eat him?!
