Ruby has a happy birthday

I was very nervous about throwing a birthday party for Ruby. I don't know why. I guess everything we've done up until now has been very low-key, and a birthday party was a much bigger affair that I didn't feel prepared to handle. Fortunately, Gramma was there to help with the food.

I had a great time watching all the kids play together and eat cake together. Little Gerard was very patient (though he had a look of consternation) when Ruby poked her finger in his cake. The adults had a good time singing karaoke while the kids ran around.

Mostly what I want to do is post pictures, but my mom has all the good ones. So I'll update this when I get the pics.
