Mike's Birthday Continues!

After our raucous night at the lake, we headed over to Mary Ellen's house to warm our hearts with family and fill our bellies with Mary Ellen's delicious cooking.  We were lucky enough to get a huge turn-out to celebrate Mike's 38th Birthday (this is only a small sampling of the crowd).

Here is LuLu in the shirt-dress that I made for her almost a year ago when Ann and Chris were heading off to China to go and pick her up. She finally fits in it!! The Canvasmen's smallest fan. :)

Mary Ellen out did herself with decorations, delicious beef stroganoff (Mike's favorite!), and just look at this cake!!

This is my most favorite view of Mike...

Ann made it out from Goldi's to join in the fun just in time for dinner...

 

Gerry is clearly enthusiastic about his uncle's birthday party...

 

And, after a large meal, we finished with one of my other favorite things about Mary Ellen's house. We all sat around the table talking, laughing, and enjoying the company of this wonderful family.

Happy Birthday, Mike!!!
