Happy Birthday Kelvin!!

The 18th was Kelvin's official birthday. Susie did a great job of trying to down-play anything big. The plan was to have Lindy come by the house after work and watch Simon at 4:30 so Kelvin and Susie could go and watch the New James Bond Movie (Quantum of Solace) which was actually really good. After the movie the plan was to bring back some take-out and enjoy some games with the Burgons.

I came back and apparently there was a big group of close friends for a surprise party. Susie made Kelvin's favorite banana cream pie at Paula's house the day before. Susie genuinely surprised Kelvin...kudos to her!!!

Amazingly, this bowling pin made its presence again at the Ning House. This is the birthday bowling pin from Pacific's Sea Bowl. It originally belonged to Jared and Kelly Salter while they were in San Francisco. Kelvin won it from them in a bowl-off. It later went to Jared Peterson for his birthday, then to Kelvin again, then Geoff Benton (from whom the Nings suspect gave it back)
Thanks so much for the love expressed by all the friends. Facebook really kept most people up to date on Kelvin's birthday. Thanks again also to all those who were able to make it mid-week to drive down from San Francisco. The evening was definitely memorable.

It must have been wonderful to find out about the surprise party. It was nice of your loved ones to arrange such a lovely birthday celebration. My husband had also arranged an amazing party last week at the venue NYC to celebrate my birthday and it was such an enjoyable event.
