Rachel celebrated her 17th birthday yesterday. She picked an interesting place to eat, a place where they cooked an assortment of food (and one mountain of butter) in front of us. It will not be the place I pick for my birthday dinner, but Rachel enjoyed it and the company was nice.
From left: Robert's mom, Audrey, Robert, Robert and Rachel's grandma, Carolyne, Rachel, and me.
Naturally, Robert filled the house with balloons and made Rose and Ella official birthday balloon ambassadors.
Ella didn't mind her balloon duties until one got caught in the fan. And even then, she was only mildly perturbed. In the picture, Robert is decorating the box of one of Rachel's presents (a framed map of the United States that she can stick her pins in that she's been collecting from all of our trips).
Rose was happy to be a birthday balloon ambassador because she will do anything for Rachel's happiness. Really!
Because I am a hillbilly and I know many of my blog readers are as well, I will share this wonderful picture of synchronized birthday balloon pottying with you. Please excuse our yard (we do not have grass yet! So very hillbilly, yes!)
