Happy First Birthday to ABE!

Thanks to everyone for coming to Abe's birthday bash on Friday, July 15th. It was fun having you all there that could make it. Here is what went down:

• We had an inaugural BBQ for our recently finished backyard
• We ate some fruit pizza and Abe(with the help of his cousins) opened up some gifts.
• We had some good times on the croquet course. Dad appeared to be coming through with two wins in a row, nearly proving himself to be an unstoppable croquet force, when at the last minute, Manon become poison, and came out of nowhere to take out Dad and become the champion of the second round.
• We went old school and broke out the 'ol original settlers of catan with Jake and Manon after most people were gone, too bad for you most people, you missed out.

I think Abe's cousins may have had more fun opening some of his presents than he did, since he's not quite aware of what presents and birthdays are at this point.
