Let The Festivities Begin! 10/24/2014
Who is the "Man Of The Hour?" It's Will and we selected the perfect frame for his portrait... To match his tie! The ladies call him "Hot Stuff"!
"It's MY birthday... and I will cry if I want to!"
He didn't have to cry... He was giggling all night!
Did You Remember? - The song lyrically portrays the discomfiture of a teenage girl at her birthday party when her boyfriend Johnny disappears only to surface in the company of Judy, another girl, who is "wearing his ring" to indicate she's replaced the birthday girl as his love interest.
The song's chorus, "It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to... You would cry too if it happened to you," became a part of American pop cultural language as a phrase used to describe being utterly humiliated and miserable during an event that is supposed to be a happy occasion.
"Ladies... It is time to dance!"
"Whaddaya mean they would only put one candle on the cake tonight?"
Donna is signaling the Fire Department to wait outside
Iris picked out the cake.... "Comfortably Numb"
Will will have to tell us about this later in the evening...
"Comfortably Numb" is a song by the English rock band
Pink Floyd, which first appears on the 1979 double album The Wall.
We had the long long table right on the dance floor
Dance lessons were going on behind the table
New steps were being created
Memories of Temecula!
Donna! Be careful... That has a nail in it!
Do you know what to do with corks??
The "Pinocchio Look"
The "Horny Look"
The "Plugged In Look"
Meanwhile At The Safe And Sane End Of The Table
Vicky is prepared in case someone asks how old she it...
A new trick... Levitating wine bottles and removing
the corks without touching the bottle
"Donna has some clever cork ideas!"
"Now I am worried!"
"Hello there... We made it to the dance floor"
It's the stealth waltz...
Everybody is in full giggle mode... Life is good
"Hi there!"
"Will knows how to throw a party"
The "A-Team" is on duty....
Larry bring in the cake, Leon has the cutting instruments, and Iris has candles
"Please stand back in case all the candles get lit at once"
Leading a resounding chorus of Happy Birthday!
Did You Know? - According to the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records, "Happy Birthday to You" is the most recognized song in the English language, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow". The song's base lyrics have been translated into at least 18 languages.
The melody of "Happy Birthday to You" comes from the song "Good Morning to All", which has been attributed to American siblings Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill in 1893
"Who... Little ol' me??"
The wicked grin... What is he thinking???
The band was really nice this evening...
They had a volume control and everything!
The cake is surrounded...
Everyone wants to see Leon's masterful cake-cutting expertise
"I can't cut the cake upside down!"
"OK... Who stole the cake??"
Will and Iris... A pair to draw to!
Surround the cake... Sing loud and laugh a lot
"...one more time..."
Before Leon slices and dices
Larry brought out a safety candle... Contained within a glass jar...
"Awe... You shouldn't have done all this"
Yes sir... We loves cake
Notice the precise measurement being taken
"M-m-m-m-m-m How can I cut it to get the most icing?"
The painful incisions are being made...
Iris is keeping a watchful eye
Meanwhile The Ladies Were Making A Birthday Present For Will
"I've never hear of a money and cork and paper taco before..."
... and much easier to please!!!
"Will... It's now tradition! You will get one every year!"
Hand made... Unique design... Worth pennies!
"So what does it do exactly"
It's you mad kit... Keep it with you at all times!
"What are the ladies up to?"
Cake delivery service
Leon is so precise... He never misses...
His face tells it all... It's his calling ... Leon is a "Cakeologist"

"History was made... Leon dropped a small piece of cake!"
Cake begins to disappear quickly
"Me? I only had three pieces"
"Really... When you decide to take a bite I will turn my head and.... No calories!"
"OMG... A corked wine bottle... Be still my heart"
"Oh heck... Why dirty a new glass!"
Another great evening with the gang
We are getting the evil eye
Dancing continues... Our gang closed the place down this evening
Leon is really worried about the little piece of cake...
How could this have happened?
"Happy Birthday Will!"
