Happy Birthday Matt! - Part 1 of 3

It is Matt’s 32nd birthday! We planned a fun weekend to celebrate, but his birthday is on a Wednesday this year. I asked him what he wanted to do and offered multiple birthday scenarios – night out at one of our favorite restaurants with friends, a date night at the local high school play – a Charlie Brown play, go see a movie – any movie he wants, even that new Wolf movie, or a night at home. He chose a low-key night at home with some of our closest friends. So, we had a chili and game night at our house featuring our made-up whodunit game - Suspect. Each person emailed me a fun fact about themselves that no one else knew and I made up little notebooks with the facts along with some fabricated facts (or at least I thought). We then asked the ‘suspects’ questions in turns and then wrote down our accusations. Melissa was the best detective (most correct accusations) and Katie was the best suspect (least suspected). Who would have thought Katie’s grandfather invented the glass eye!?! Since Matt is thirty-TWO, everything was in two’s. We had two kinds of chili, 2 kinds of margaritas & probably 32 kinds of beerJ. After dinner we all sang Matt ‘Happy Birthday’ and ate some cookie birthday cake while we sat around the TV watching the Winter Olympics. We had a lot of fun commentating the Curling and cheering on Sean White as he won the Gold. And NBC’s lack of bleeping-out. It was a fun night and great way to kick-off the birthday festivities!
