Three Wolf Moon was the perfect theme for Roland's birthday party. Emily and Jason arrived Friday night, Michael came out of his cave and we had a great time. There was a crazy game of Rook in which Roland, Jason, and Emily beat Michael and me. The score was 540 to -265. Thinking back on it, I bet we lost because Michael didn't wear his Three Wolf Moon t-shirt! He's usually a wizard at Rook, but the competition was steep since everyone else had theirs on. (Well, Jason didn't wear one, but he doesn't own one, so that can't be held against him. ; ) Afterward, we enjoyed some
amazingly moist brownies made with pumpkin instead of eggs and oil. You'll note the candles say "52", but there are eight additional candles on the cake to make it "60".The next day we went out to Sitar to continue our party and then to see "Sherlock Holmes". It was a great movie--with some great humor and plenty of action. Then in the evening, Roland, Jason and Emily watched four episodes of 24. Jason and Emily are now fans of 24, too! They took Seasons 1 and 2 back to Manchester with them.
Happy Birthday, Roland!

It looks like you had a great time at that birthday party! Wish we could have been there!
how fun. it sounds like a day jam-packed with birthday fun. it's always easier to fit in more fun stuff when it's on a weekend.
i wish we could have been there too. i don't think we would have helped out in rook, but we wouldn't have tried, valiantly.
and speaking of moons and wolves, b and i are going to go see the "new moon" movie this weekend. i'm thinking now we should probably wear our wolf shirts to the theater.
Happy Belated Birthday Uncle Roland! It must have been a howling good time.
