TQ Birthday

We had a birthday party for my youngest brother, Tyler, tonight while my parents are still here. His birthday is on Wednesday, but my parents are flying out tomorrow morning and I'm going to be leaving on break as soon as I get out of class on Wednesday, so we decided to have a celebration today. It was a quick and rather raucous affair consisting of five of his dorm friends (three of which are RA's), two of his sisters, two of his parents (the only two), and one of his cousins. The three RA's were worried about being at work in time, so we had his party at the Four Corner Rafael's. Since we didn't have time to make him a cake, or buy him a good-tasting one, my mum passed around bags of Skittles and Canadian Smarties (oh so differently than those chalky American ones). Then there was the obligatory picture time to appease my mother and then all the RA's and friends of RA's traded hugs to the other non-young-adult-males (Ty's sisters, parents and cousin) and hurried back to campus. It was fun, but a very different party than either Bryn or I would ever have, haha.

  1. Sounds like fun. Also, I think the whole Smarties vs. M&M thing just depends on where you were raised. Being half-and-half, I like both.

  2. I like both too, just depends what mood I'm in (they do taste slightly different). I also like the American version of Smarties, but the chocolate kind is better, at least when I haven't been home for awhile.

  3. Interesting...
    I've never had Canadian Smarties, but I certainly hate the American ones!
