Tonight was Cameron's 14th birthday party. He had planned it for weeks, and for awhile we thought that it would have to be postponed because of the impending snowstorm. Doug and I talked at lunch, however, and decided that we go through with the party and buy extra food in case we had to keep them all longer than planned. The thought of that reminded me of the weekend that Cal's friends from the high school basketball team woke up from a night at our house to nine inches of snow. They spent thirty-six hours together, buried Alex's car in the snow and made some of them favorite high school memories.
Doug met the boys at Bethany at 5:45 tonight. They had stayed for the middle school girls game. Mom and I had decorated the house, so it was ready when they got home. Once they arrived the Play Station, pool table and basketball hoop became a focal point of activity. I ordered pizza for them from Meg's game. When I got home I was happy to hear a lot of screaming, yelling and laughing coming from the basement. We sang "Happy Birthday" to Cameron and Avery as his 14th birthday was actually today. The boys enjoyed cake and ice cream and then headed outside a several games of Ghost in the Graveyard. I thought it was cold, but Cam and Breece said that they didn't notice because of all of the fun they were having.
Meg and Nick were here for a little while after her game. She was happy with her playing time and proud of her five points. It was a lot of fun watching her have success. Their game was cancelled already for tomorrow, because of the storm brewing. That will give her time to work on a couple of projects. I should have time to help her, so it should go a lot quicker.
