Happy Birthday, Jonathan!

Today is Jonathan's 14th birthday. He celebrated on Friday night by having 3 friends over for a sleepover. After a quick pizza dinner and ice cream, they disappeared into our basement for a night of pool and video games. Everyone seemed to have a very good time.

Here's a picture of Jonathan with his "cake," which was really just a huge chunk of ice cream:



That was taken before he performed his annual custom of "decorating" it with gel icing:



Then it was time for him to try to blow out his trick candles:



Elizabeth even tried to help him do that by blowing from across the table:



Then the fun part - eating the ice cream. Everyone quickly learned that the gel icing colored any body part that it touched, especially lips and teeth:



Then, the boys figured out that if you mixed all the gel colors together they turned black. Here's a picture of Jonathan's friend Brian that I'm sure we'll be able to use as blackmail later:
