21st Birthday “Tacky” Party

Saturday we celebrated Chuckie’s/Pipo’s ….21st Birthday.
He had Marine Reserve duty this week-end but came back to our house around 5:00 p.m. to the family zoo….
All the family had arrived a couple of hours earlier dressed so ’tacky’ that no one would stop at Publix and pick up ice cream. Guess they feared being arrested as a ’loonie’….
Anyway, when our boy arrived he just shook his head from side to side as if to say…..”I thought I had seen it all from this bunch….how did I get ’borned’ here?”
Even his birthday cake was crazy….it was decorated as the ’eye of a storm’ and said….Go Away Ivan…..Happy Birthday Chuckie….
Aunt Lynn won the ultimate prize….a lampshade on her head with stuffed animals hanging all around plus Joshua’s favorite characters hanging from every corner of her skirt gave her the edge on….tacky.
Future bride, Melissa Jo, came as a ½ bride-in-waiting….
Britt and Ashley were pretty even though they were….ugly.
Matt, of course, always gets into the swing of things….said he got hit in the head with a VCR in the storm and ’lost his book learning’….
Joshua walked around in a daze…never saw such carrying on in his short 3 years of life….and by adults no less.
Just goes to show at the lengths some people will go to in order to….have fun….and celebrate the 21st Birthday of a loved one….
Long live Chuckie…..Be Blessed by your wacky family, Sweetheart….
Just wait till your wedding in November….
We will dress very elegant…..maybe!
