Birthdays for the Boys

Last weekend we celebrated my dad's 50+ birthday and my nephew's 1st birthday. It wasn't either of their birthdays, but it seemed like the right thing to do.
Actually, my poor dad happened to be rafting down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon on his birthday. And the Q, well it's hard to compete with Christmas, so we're celebrating his half birthday instead.
The weekend was pretty fantastic. The weather cooperated...for once. A ton of family came, and the food was plentiful and terrific. Here are a few pictures that captured the par-tay.

#1: The Q lovin' his Uncle Rossome.

#2: Yes, we are all that mature.


#3: The bigger birthday boy looking studly in his new safety goggles.

(Nice socks, Dad.)

#4: A little Q to help erase that last image from your retinas.


#5: The little stud muffin with the birthday gift that immediately became his favorite - basketballs (atta boy!).


#6 and #7: The gift that immediately became everyone else' favorite.
