Birthday Week Bashes

December is a busy month for celebrations...2 nights of parties for my birthday, a night for Ryan Adams birthday, and Christmas parties galore! Didn't get too many pictures from these events, but we did get some from Ryan's Birthday Solstice Celebration in Reno. He rented a fat pad at the Peppermill Casino, we all celebrated there, and went to a really fun concert downtown with lots of dancing. It was a great night...Happy Birthday Ryan!!

Kellan, Lizard, Josh, Ryan, and John getting the celebration started in the O'Bama Suite at the Peppermill.

A little Bushmills for the birthday boy?

We all had to jump on the bed the next morning as a little payback to the Peppermill for not comping us anything after Kellan got locked in the bathroom for 30+ min!

A-Train and Lizard starting up a little morning dance party!

Yo Lizard, get your groove on!

BeaverFest Mania 2009

The Marco Sullivan (aka Marco Rocks) Fan Club headed off to Beaver Creek, CO for another year of Beaver Slayer Mayhem. The fan club was the largest its ever been, rolling 50 deep, and this year we combined forces with the Worm Fan Club (Josh's brother, who was also racing in the world cup) and totally dominated the stands! And this year's highlight...Jesse Shirley proposing to Megan Ganong at the BeaverFest Prom (80's prom with wigs) on the last night! Congratulations you two!!

Borrego Thanksgiving Reunion

The whole family headed down to Borrego Springs this year for Thanksgiving. We haven't been able to go the last few years, so it was a real treat to renew the tradition. Josh, John, Stacia, Kishka and I all drove down together in a little Subaru for 11 hours, but once we survived that, it was all fun. Golf, hot tubbing, warm weather, and great family dinners with my parents (Jean and Andrew), aunts (Lucy and Joanne), uncle (Bob), and grandmother (Mary Anne). Thanks everyone for such a great week!

A little golf action at the Borrego Springs Resort...everyone played pretty well today!

John and Stacia and the cute little white duck and her four black babies...is that like an ugly duckling thing?

John was hitting them long and straight today...the stars must have all been aligned!

Josh too, had one of his best games ever, but he was using my dad's new clubs!

How about a little sunset cocktail party at Font's Point with the gang? No one could compete with the spread we had going on here!

We even convinced my grandmother to make the trek out!

Love is in the air...and it seems to be blowing quite forcefully!
