Don's birthday party

We had wanted to plan a big party for Don and Larry but it was not possible because Laura and Allie have games out of town most of the weekends. I felt strange planning a party just for Don but I really wanted to do something for him. We had the party at Luke and Mimi's and we tried to do it as a surprise. I am sure he knew but he played along. It was hard keeping it as a surprise!

Titi had the idea of having a Grateful Dead party so we planned a hippies party and invited people with very short notice. Lots of people could not come and we missed them but it was still a good party. Don felt funny being by himself and he kept saying he was missing Larry but after a while he enjoyed all the attention. For the first time he was allowed to play Grateful Dead music and dress in tye dye without being criticized so he loved it.
