A HomeTown Birthday!

Happy Birthday Annalyn! When we asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday she shouted, "Go to HomeTown Buffet as a family for dinner!"

So that is what we did!

Cousin Matt, Aunt Lisa, and Baboonya joined us.

Most of the kids cost $.65 times the number of years they are....... some rang up as adults------bottom line----- tonight I order you to EAT, EAT , EAT!

This is Annalyn's favorite place to eat, and we were so happy to take her there to celebrate her 11th birthday--- the third birthday we have been able to celebrate with her.

Annalyn had the honors of going and fixing her plate first.

Dennis couldn't wait for dessert! I think he is the only one who truly ate his money's worth!

Annalyn is the dessert master. She can sure make an awesome sundae!
We all ate till we were full!

No ice-cream for me----- I am a pudding type of girl! Anna brought me a bowl of tapioca and chocolate pudding.


My first cousin Matt-- who might as well be my brother because his Mother is my Dad's sister, and his father is my Mom's brother, took all of these wonderful pictures.

I managed to take this one of him and William. Did I mention that he gave me his old camera----- which is the best camera I have probably ever had! You better believe that I am excited!

I couldn't shovel it in fast enough for Dennis, so I jokingly tried to give him his biggest bite ever! Take a look at Adam, as if he is coaching Dennis on what to do.


Annalyn got some wonderful and thoughtful presents. She also raked in the cash--- a whopping $40! I told her now she can take us all out next weekend!


What beautiful shoes for a beautiful girl!


Sveta gave her a very special journal because we all know that Annalyn loves to write.

Adam gave Annalyn the surprise of her life by giving her a brotherly kiss on the cheek. You should have been there!


We all had a great time!

When it was time to leave, Baboonya got out quarters and let all of the kids buy something from the machines. What a special treat---- something I am sure they will remember forever!

Some of these pictures made me laugh, especially the one of Dennis taking a BIG bite and Adam with his mouth wide open.

FUN!!! I used to love going to Hometown! Whenever I wanted a salad, we would go there for the salad bar. Then, I would always end with hot bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. I think the HB in Merced closed a few years ago though...HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Annalyn!!! Such a sweet young lady. Oh, and the kiss from Adam!!! SWEET!

You have double cousins too? My friends all thought it was weird that my mom's sister married my dad's brother.

It looks like a great time.

Happy belated birthday to a beautiful young lady, inside and out!

It looks like you had a very special evening.

I read somewhere that double cousins are genetically like half siblings! I know that was random :)
