Birthday Party and Light Weight

So Taylor's birthday already passed, but we held her party yesterday. She had a good time, the rest of the kids had a good time. Her most prized gift was the DS lite that we got her. Here is the day in pics...

Ooh, I love it...

My hat is off to Walmart...looks like it says "happy gth birthday" instead of happy 9th birthday....and then they started her name with a lower case letter and then followed up in caps...hmm.

So later on after the party, we joined up with Shortmama and her family at a memorial benefit for her uncle's wife. Her uncle just recently passed away unexpectedly, and he was part of a band, so the band was playing at a local restaurant and there were a bunch of people that came to show support. Everyone was dancing and drinking and having a good time. Our hubby's had a few beers, and Shortmama and I settled on some malibu and coke. Let me tell you, just ONE put me 3 sheets to the wind. I had to sit my butt down. Gave everyone else a good laugh though. I on the other hand didn't expect to feel it that much after just one. That's when Jason decided to let me know that the bartender made it stronger than normal. Thank.you. I don't think I would've drank it as fast had I known.
