March Madness (not basketball)






Last weekend we held the 3rd annual March Birthday party to celebrate some of our Marchers: Mike, Jamie, Izze, Mickey, and Karl. Grandma and Ross's brother Dmitri and brother-in-law John also celebrated March birthdays (cheers to those we couldn't celebrate with). Above are Izze, Mickey, and cousin Katya.


Scott, Jamie and the girls drove over from Fortuna on Friday evening. Mike, Amanda, Kurt, and Karl arrived at 10:30 followed by Phil, Sandy, Cedric, and Peg. Several people contributed their special talents for birthday entertainment.

Everyone decorated cool party hats.



Cedric showed us some of his very cool and highly elaborate origami. Katya, Peg, and Kurt were very interested.



The birthday folks (and non-March born Kurt) opened presents. The girls tried on several new outfits.



After the happy birthday song, we cut into birthday cake, birthday pie, and birthday cookies.




Scott and Cedric discovered that a bike pump is essential to successfully blow up balloons. Scott has found his new calling and plans to give his two weeks notice to his current employer to seriously pursue his art.



Sunday morning we enjoyed a walk along the Lindo channel at the end of our cul-de-sac.







A fun time was had by all and we hope to do it again in March 2012!
