We celebrated Ian's turning 33 on Sunday with a weekend long extravaganza. Well, that might be overstating it a bit, but we sure did have fun! Despite getting inches upon inches of terrential rain, we hosted a huge low-country shrimp boil on Saturday with all the folks that have helped us with the move, the new house, etc as well as those we just wanted to see before the baby arrived. 8 pounds of shrimp, 4 pounds of sausage, 16 ears of corn, 10 pounds of potatoes and a whole lotta boiling later, we had a feast fit for a birthday boy. In addition, everyone brought food so we had a hot grill and Ian standing in the said rain cooking up all sorts of other goodies. (The girls helped out earlier in the day by cleaning up the icing remnants from making birthday cake!)
On Sunday, we hit the pool, Lucy hit the diving board, and Harper hit the watermelon. Then to help us eat up the remainder of the shrimp, we invited a couple of friends over for leftovers and cake. Ian started up his new fire pit in 90 degree weather at 4pm to start burning off the mountain of wood and sticks that are in our yard. Cornhole, cornbread and heaping platters of shrimp boil, not too bad! He claimed it was one of his favorite birthday weekends ever and that he would love for it to be a tradition every year. Happy 33rd!
