Happy 16th Birthday Russell

Birthday archway

Birthday breakfast

I had such plans for Russell's birthday. I wanted to throw him a "white trash birthday bash", I had secured myself a toilet for the front yard, I bought Spam and Twinkies, I got Joe Dirt to watch in the back yard while  we roasted hot dogs...but alas he was a major party pooper and didn't want a party. So we bought him clothes and gave him $300 to go towards a car and told him we'd double whatever else he brought in himself.

Good morning birthday boy.

Russell's girlfriend came over later that night and we took them to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then to Batman.
