On Friday we celebrated Ethan's 16th birthday. He wanted to have a big party, so we invited a bunch of people to the party. We sort of had a gas station theme going...
He lit the candles on his cake with a small blow torch.
They ate:
12 pizzas
a 4 Tiered Cake (made by Ellie who is turning out to be a great baker)
108 sodas (9 twelve packs, which is funny since we don't normally drink any soda)
6 pounds of cheese sauce for nachos
4 pounds of Tortilla chips (a huge box)
1 cup Jalapenos
35+ waffles
2 jugs of Orange Juice
3 sticks of butter
1 quart of pancake syrup
Ethan invited his friends and their families. We had over 40+ people at the party. Timothy, nearly five, was our youngest guest.
There were late night bike races in the alley. You knew bikes had to make it into the mix somehow!
There were also lots of X Box 360s hooked up together with teams playing in different rooms but on the same screens - crazy, I tell you. And there was the Werewolf of Miller's Hollow game, an old fashioned, narrated game that is a lot of fun to play, especially if it is dark out.
Most of them did sleep at some point. When I got up in the morning I found sleeping bodies all over the couches, chairs and on many spots on the floors both on the main floor and the basement.
Ethan says it was probably the best party ever. I was happy he liked it. It was a pretty easy one to throw. Happy 16th year, my sweet boy!
