Party Time

Happy 40th Tammy!!

My mom ended up really sick all night; she spent a lot of her night in the bathroom.  She ended up taking naps throughout the day and was only able to join the birthday party for a short while.  She came outside and tried to enjoy herself a few times.  My mom was able to be there when Tammy blew out the candles on her cupcakes: 

I brought out the piñata and a couple of the guys offered to hang it from the tree; there ended up being about 5 guys hanging the piñata: 

They asked if I was going to make the piñata swing and I said that I’ve seen way too many America’s Funniest Videos to stand anywhere near a piñata.  One of them tied another piece of rope to the hanging rope and he strung in through the tree so he wouldn’t get hit.  Very smart!! HAHA: 

Tammy was the only one who beat down the piñata: 

I didn’t take the men long to notice the shots of alcohol mixed in with the candy when the piñata hit the ground – it was funny to watch grown men dive down to grab the goodies: 

We also played a charades type phone app.  It was hysterical to watch everyone shout out hints and clues just a couple feet from the person trying to guess the film, song, animal or whatever the category was. 

We laughed really hard when I was trying to guess an animal and my brother shouts out, “What houses are made from!!”  I said, “Wood.”  Then he followed up with “WHAT MEN HAVE!!!” (and a gesture with his fist).  I shouted out “WOODCOCK!!!”  Everyone burst into laughter and said, “How the crap did you get that!!”  Justin said, “She’s my sister, I know how to talk to her!” 

I laughed most of the night and took a couple short videos to show Doug how silly it was.  We all wish Doug could have been with us. 

The party lasted until about 2am, we went to bed at about 2:30am and I fell asleep at about 3am.  I woke up feeling like I had a cold/sore throat from laughing so hard and talking all night.  It was a lot of fun and their friends are so inviting, accepting, entertaining and, well...crazy!  I even had the pleasure of having a drink with a former Navy Seal.
