Jasen turns 19

We celebrated Jasen's nineteenth with Ken, Pam, grandma and our gang.While Shellie was doing the prep for the party, Steve fixed chocolate chip waffles. They were amazing! Not exactly healthy, but absolutely yummy!Jasen even paused his battling on in Lord of the Rings online just to chow down on his waffle.Jasen checking out Shellie's masterpiece of a birthday cake!Jasen chose this spaghetti and meatball birthday cupcake cake.The final piece of art! The meatballs were Fererro Rochers and the sauce was strawberry jam.Let the party begin!Fruit, nuts, chips & salsa started us off.The theme was Thai food, with a curry coconut beef as the main dish with spicy green beans/carrots and jasmine rice. Wow, it was as good as it sounds! And Jasen was very happy with his choice for the night! By the way, we had the little tables out to watch the BCS championship football game - Florida beat Oklahoma pretty solidly!BUSTED... Grandma took a cupcake off the platter, with candle and all, and chowed down, long before it was time. We caught her in the very act! I suppose she just could not wait any longer! The rest of us had to wait another hour for Jasen to blow out the candles!Pressie time!!!Now on to the cake! Notice the flames on the cake.A big blow took care of all the colorful flames.Jasen was very pleased with his party!

Just a few moments after we did the cake thing, our area was hit with a decent sized earthquake (like 4.5)! Even the earth said "happy birthday" to Jasen!
