Birthday Photo Essay

This is the birthday cake from the Episcopalians. In this picture, the cake is still frozen. Christena (behind Ryan,) Ryan (in the hat,) Carter, and I are lighting the candles on the outside first. The quoteboard in the background has a really awesome picture of the female reproductive system. I like this picture because you can really see how dire the haircut situation is.

Christena, Ryan, and I are finishing up the cake. All the Happy Birthday confetti is everywhere and the Aloha Fiesta party napkins are only half gone. This is just six days before Christena was diagnosed with Mono. She went home to Kansas today to recover.


This is me eating the last piece of cake with out hands. The Minute Made orange juice is contaminated with Mono- so is that elbow.


Thanks, Kathleen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the pictures.
