Jack's birthday party was exciting and eventful to say the least. We decided to go with a Mickey Mouse theme since that seems to be Jack's favorite thing right now. We invited some family and friends over for some Rip's chicken, BBQ, birthday cake and plenty of other goodies. The party started around 4:30, and by 5:15ish, the entire town of Ladd was out of power!!!! A complete black out. Since our basement is recently finished and it is the perfect set up for a party, we thought it would be the idea location for the festivities to take place. But a basement is not a good place to be when your house is completely black. We continued the party as best we could, and about an hour and a half later, right after we finished singing Happy Birthday, the lights came back on. Once the lights were back on the kids were able to play a little more freely and the adults were able to have more conversations without having to look for their missing children in the dark. So thank you to all of our family and friends who stuck around through the power outage and helped us celebrate Jack's birthday. I might have become a bit frazzled at times while the power was out. I guess that's what happens when you have about 50 people in your dark house and the party must go on.
Here are a few pictures that I was actually able to take before or after the power went out.
