Jay's Birthday Dinner and Interview

June 2nd was Jay's birthday!  (We won't be revealing his age, though....sorry.)  We tried to make him feel like a king for a day.  Have a look:

Emily made the salad.

Ivan marinated and grilled the steaks.

Here is the birthday feast: steak, salad, rosemary roasted potatoes, garlic bread, and corn on the cob - Yum!

The birthday cake: carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (Ben & Jerry's ice cream on the side - oh yeah!)

Getting birthday wishes from family.  (Sure wish we could have shared our birthday feast and cake with our family!)

We played games until late.  Have you ever played banana grams?  Way fun (if you like word games, that is).

The winner of banana grams....Emily!  Here are her winning words :o)

We played a few rounds of Jenga.

They have that winning feeling....

I think I have that loosing feeling....

Yep.  I was right.

We also played a long round of Skip-bo.  It seems to be our new favorite for now.
