happy birthday darren

Saturday was darren's bday. he's 20 now. that's a little crazy really, that my youngest brother is 20. weird. anyways, back when darren used to celebrate his bday w/ family (now he's all off at college and celebrating in NY) his birthday party (almost) always had one common element year after year: round table pizza.

my parents kindly offered to babysit on saturday so that blake and I could do some packing and painting (more on that later) and when we called to coordinate baby pick-up they said, "why don't you meet us in woodinville and we'll go to round table for darren's birthday." so we did. these pictures are fairly unexciting, but darren, here's for you - we really did go to round table on your birthday w/o you. (unfortunately, the kiddos needed to go to bed, so we didn't go to coldstone's afterwards - sorry. no slip 'n' slide either.)

round table has a salad bar, so we got lots of small chopped things for the kiddos. they weren't super into the bacon, but they were enthusiastic about everything else (peas, peaches, ham, & olives). they probably ate 80+% of the food on that plate, and then blake finished it off for them.

 kaylee was trying to feed me her peas, but then she would eat them herself and just stretch out an empty hand to see what I would do.

whoops, dropped one!
