Birthday x 3

 We had our traditional "major" birthday party for Jack, Anna, and Cori. 

 In typical fashion we coordinated it with a Husker party.

 In atypical fashion we provided some disguises for the birthday children.

 Presents were a highlight of the party. 

 Caitie made a great banner for the party and for future parties I hope. 

 Sam thought he should get presents.

 Bill just thought...

... about what he might do to mom while she was distracted having her picture taken (see the gun).

Cori thought that was a bad idea. 

 We all thought that swimming at Bill's hotel the next day was a GREAT idea.

 and it was.

 the end.
