Happy birthday, Mer!

Tonight we got together to celebrate Mer's birthday! Five days late! It's been a busy week. Mom made oven-roasted chicken shawarma.



Dad and Mom!



Pretending to be grumpy.



Smoked salmon appetizers!



Chicken shawarma, plus spaghetti squash, salad, raita and pita. Mmm!



Mom and Dad have french doors in their dining room, and they call the triangle behind the door when it's open the Bermuda Triangle. Dad got in the Bermuda Triangle and hid, waiting for Kate to notice him.



Hahaha! It's always funny!



Mer made Smitten Kitchen's Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake!



NAILED IT!



Kate put the candles in.



Grandpa lit them!



Happy birthday to Mer...



Happy birthday tooooo Merrrrr.....



Look at that rogue candle!! I think it enveloped the spirit of the candle next to it.



Make a wish!






Mmmm. Happy birthday, sissie! I hope you have a fantastic year!
