Thanks, Lee! His birthday isn't actually until the 15th but we are so far from family, and the Big Kids' birthdays are less than 3 weeks apart (Joanna is Dec. 27) so rather than have them here twice and hear about how hard it is for them to drive here, we do one party "in the middle."
Should be interesting to see what that one wants for his birthday dinner! He has already said he wants an ice cream cake from Friendly's. I told him I'd get it for his actual birthday, not for the family party when I am feeding 25!

That would be one expensive dessert!
Abear, I hope you have evicted that Bad Dinner Fairy once and for all!!! Tell her to stay FAR away from all of us!
