Murray is officially into his 5th decade! and now I'm not the only 40-something in the house, welcome to your forties hawney! We celebrated with a bonfire party in the backyard and managed not to create a national emergency although there were a couple close calls as the Christmas trees shot up in flame! We had to call in some reinforcements with power tools to get the party started and they complied quite happily! It was so nice to have Murray's whole family here! It's rare that all siblings, spouses and kids can be in the same place at the same time but it is so much fun when we do!
When Murray was born, his dad was gifted a bottle of Crown Royal which he never touched. The bottle still had its seal intact. Or it DID until the party! Almost everyone had a sample and I was told that the aged whisky has a sweeter taste than new whisky but I wouldn't know! it all tastes like burning to me!
and then there were some party shenanigans! Usually it's Karen that gets lifted off her feet but turnabout is fair play right?
There was lots of fun during the party, the bonfire, roasting marshmallows, making smores, hotdogs, chips & dip, beer & pop etc. But the night kicked into high gear when Murray opened his present from Teena, Dale & Boo, fireworks!!! The kids were beyond excited and the grownups enjoyed the display too! and best of all, no injuries! Mr Bojangles had so much fun running around with the big kids that at 9pm he asked to be put to bed! That does NOT happen often!
