It was Jane's fifteenth birthday and so Kaylen came
and the 2 of them tried to get the perfect picture and so we
gave it a lot of tries
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0075
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0076
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0077
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0078
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0079
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0080
before deciding that they were all good. Fred and Lucy
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0081
were amused as Jane flipped the channels
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0082
and Ben
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0083
decided to get his shoes on
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0084
so we could take these non pictures
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0085
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0086
before heading off for the birthday picture
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0087
at the Olive Garden
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0088
where Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0089
reported that there was no room, so we took the car
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0090
to Chili's
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0091
for the next birthday picture
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0092
before waiting
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0093
for just long enough for the birthday girl
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0094
to acknowledge the employees of the month
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0095
and then do some eye experiments
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0096
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0097
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0098
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0099
to see if you can flash and still see.
Once we were seated, our waitress
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0100
got the ordering started
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0101
as Fred tried to lean back
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0102
but then posed
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0103
before leaning back
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0104
so that I could see Kaylen
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0105
and Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0106
and Benjamin
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0107
before taking artistic ketchup bottle pictures
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0108
and pictures of pictures
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0109
being taken. Benjamin
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0110
and Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0111
were focussed on their ordering as Jane
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0112
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0113
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0114
did her face thing that convinced me to get back to artistic photos
of beer bottles
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0115
and wine bottles
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0116
and root beer
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0117
while the chips and salsa
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0118
and milkshakes
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0119
were being delivered. There were chicken wings
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0120
and then the burgers came
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0121
so Benjamin got ready to dig in
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0122
as did Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0123
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0124
and I
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0125
Meanwhile, Jane began to read her gift scrap book
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0126
while the cake arrived
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0127
and the singing
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0128
began. We watched the cake
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0129
and the candle got blown out
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0130
so we could dig in
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0131
and eat away
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0132
until the gifts -- clothes
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0133
clothes
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0134
wrapped book
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0135
unwrapped book
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0136
jewelry
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0137
and jewelry
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0138
started being opened and the cake
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0139
started to disappear. Back to more clothes gifts
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0140
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0141
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0142
DVD
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0143
and 2 posters for Jane's ceiling
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0144
and we were ready for the pictures of the menu with flash
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0145
and without
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0146
which led to even more presents of creams
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0147
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0148
socks
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0149
a T shirt
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0150
and a DVD
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0151
that seemed to be a large enough haul. After collecting this sign
../../../Sabbat/2003/03.09-10.03JanesBirthday//IMG_0152
for the collection, we called it a night and vowed to
start celebrating again the next day which was the real birthday.
But first we had to pause to give Jane many many hours to work on her
anthology and for Sarah and Ed to think about breaking into the house
(but I was asleep then and so there are no photos).
