Happy Birthday Tbird!!!!

Friday was T's birthday.  We woke up and had breakfast and then got ready to go to the store with Mascha to get stuff for the party later that night.  We went to four different stores and by the afternoon we had everything we needed.

T was waiting for a call from her parents to let her know that they landed safely and made it to their hotel.  Franky, Mascha, Anton, T, and I ate some lunch around two.  Franky taught me a joke in German that he said I needed to tell to his friend at the party that evening.  After thing were prepared for T's birthday, she and I went downstairs to her room and I fell asleep for about an hour and a half.

When I woke up, I made pizza dip.  T went to the train station to pick up her parents around 6:15 and the festivities got underway.  Not only did they bring her presents, but they brought presents for Franky and Mascha as well.  A bill's Tshirt and American National Parks book were included for Franky and cookbooks for Mascha.  I thought that the gifts were very nice.

People started arriving shortly after that and the pizza dip was the first thing served, after the drinks of course.  I have noticed that people are usually skeptical of trying it when they first see it, but after they taste it, I have not encountered a person who did not like it.  The list of countries that I have served it in now includes the US, Switzerland, Greece, and Germany, so I think it is a hit.

The food was delicious that night and it was really nice getting to know everyone a little better and catching up with T's parents.  Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun, and then it was time for bed.
