Kenter's 33rd Birf-day Par-tay....Heeeeeey!

Gotta love us some Kent-o Bent-o

Kent being the somewhat humble fella that he is...doesn't want a fuss over his birthday....but over the years...as we age....he indulges my whimsical notion...and he "lets" me throw him a party....last year was a poker party...this year we decided to introduce some amazing friends to our lil' pub of a bar around the corner...I dropped by the Thursday before his birthday (which was March 14th) and gave the owner a heads up...the owner was thrilled! ;o)

Everyone met at our house around 6:00 pm and we started walking at 6:15ish....(Liz...Mary Ann and I stayed behind to wait for some peeps who were running late)

So the first group walked...and we all met up at BaKu Bar....

The first arrivals....group photo...a chill in the air...

When we got to the bar this was on our table reserving the whole one side of the restaurant...the place is small and quaint...and cool as all get out!!

Everyone gets a small appetizer (common at bars here in Japan...usually costing 200 yen or 2 dollars) basically a surcharge



Kent's first beer...and we all sat at these tables...gazing upon the bulging eyed fishy's...

This beer was quite good...I can see only drinking one....and when we found out the cost...I'm glad I didn't indulge....1500 yen (15 dolla') a pop...say what?!

Naomi...Heather...Heather...Sue and Amanda....

Pretty Chicks....

Amanda..Yo!, Christa and Adam...

waiting for our next beverage....I love white ale...!!

A huge crowd...can you feel the love for the birthday boy!?

Who couldn't love this man?!

GREAT job Mimi and Papa!!

Mary Ann, Liz and Nay Nay...

Crest commercial..written all over it...

Bebe!

So the conversation was....debating if it was a urinal or a sink...and who used it as a sink...when it was a urinal...I'll try to find the picture....this was Hilarious!!

Then we paid our bill...and off we headed back to our house for some game time!!

We played Catch Phrase and Mad Gab...and boy did we laugh until we peed our pants...quite a abdominal workout....laughing so hard...;0)

Time to open presents....birf-day boy!

I think Kent thinks it's SEXY TIME...or so his shirt says....

The cute Hammer's....

(check out their blog (Team Juloa)...she blogged some about Kent's birthday...and has the urinal picture)

The last ones standing...er...I mean The last ones sitting!

I felt the love from the friends who joined us to celebrate the joy of having

Kent in our lives....a special son....brother-in-law....husband...father..and friend....genuine, true and honest...with a twist of laid back flair!

I love you bunny!
