Facial Hair, Teasing, and Crazy Humor

That became the theme of Aric's Birthday 
"Roast and Toast"


I had asked all of our beloved's to come prepared to share something about Aric. Who knew that a theme would be born...

Our house is still under construction so the Romney's kindly offered their home for the festivities.

We had a table full of pictures of Aric growing up and with friends and loved ones who couldn't be here.

The roast started off with an email from "Friend of Friends" Mike Sampson sharing a lovely memory of him and Aric trying to pick fights with random people at the park. Then Jessica shared some lovely text conversations that she and Aric have had over the past couple of months...

Many other stories were shared that made us all laugh until our cheeks hurt. They almost all included facial hair, friendly touching (Ryan has been the target of most of those), silly drawings being passed around during church meetings, medical emergencies turned comical and more funny text and email exchanges.

After the roast we played a hilarious drawing game and laughed some more. It was such a fun night, we definitely needed a break from the home makeover chaos.

We also had a small celebration with the kiddies. Aric requested banana cake minus the strawberries so that is what he got. He also got a new wallet, a facial hair trimmer and some sham wow's. What more could a guy ask for right!?

And that is how we celebrated Aric this year...

The End.

*BTW...what does blogger do to my pictures to make them look so crappy!?
