Although tomorrow will be Cameron's official fourteenth birthday, we decided to celebrate it today. Meg has senior night for basketball then and we knew it would be challenging to do both. Cameron debated all week about where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner - Biaggi's or Mad Anthony's. In the end the weather made the decision for him. With the wind chill advisory set to start in the afternoon and the cold temperatures this morning, Doug thought it was best that we stay close to home. He also made the decision to switch from a dinner to a birthday. Thus, at one today we headed to Warsaw to start our celebration of Cameron.
Lunch was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the food. Cameron ended up with a chicken flatbread, but had a hard time choosing his meal. There were just too many items on the menu that he liked. He was pleased with it and the Scooby snacks as appetizer. Meg switched from a plain hamburger to meatballs which she also enjoyed.
Once we got home Doug, Cam and I played a couple of rounds of pool. Doug showed no mercy, even though it was a day for Cam, and beat us in two out of three games. We talked Meg into a game of Mario Kart before Nick arrived. I finished in twelfth as always, but had fun just the same. My parents arrived in time to watch the end of the Saints and Rams game. Everyone was disappointed that a blown call ended New Orleans' season early. Afterward Cam opened his gifts. He was thrilled with his new Northwestern shirt, IU shorts, and IU Lego. The most interesting gifts of the evening were a bucket of coleslaw from my parents and The Donner Dinner Party game from Brett. Since we had cake on Friday, tonight we sang to Cameron around a big cookie. The rest of the evening was spent playing Euchre and watching an intense Patriots/Chiefs game. It was a good night for both as Tom Brady once again led his team to victory and Cam won at cards. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.
