Birthday extravaganza

So last night we went out and celebrated our birthdays. We did this last year with just our parents and it was very nice. This year we expanded it and invited our brothers and their families. That gave us a round number of 13. (With some forethought, we would have gotten a Hobbit to bring us luck.)
It was a very good time, though quite active. Relia spent the entire time being passed from grandparent to aunt or uncle and vice versa. She was very tired by the time we got home. I'd hoped she'd be her regular smiley self but she spent the whole time either sleeping or trying to figure out who in the world was holding her.
Back home, the FP Gal broke her new DVD, 'Help' by the Beatles and we watched some of it. She reports that the video looks much clearer than she'd ever seen it before. The plot is beyond goofy but quite fun. With her help, I may get to know this mystery band.
