Birthday Supper for Emerson & Macie

We felt pretty bad not having "real" parties for Emerson & Macie, so we had a dinner in their honor on the Saturday between their birthdays. We don't know many people with kids, and the ones we do know, couldn't come, so we pretty much had a dinner for adults and they brought presents over for our kids! Anyway, we had a "Mexican Fiesta" of sorts, since Emerson requested cheese chips and tacos for her birthday food. I had originally planned on grilling, but it's a good thing we didn't, because while I was grilling the flank stead for fajitas, the grill ran out of propane! So, on to plan "B"......I'll try to finish the meat in the broiler.....yeah, right! I almost burnt the house down. Even though the fajitas were a little on the rare side, there was enough food that every one had a good time and even got to eat seconds.

The girls enjoyed eating their cupcakes!

and opening presents!
