My new buddy Rayne, the youngest son of an older (but not old) buddy of mine, turned thirteen yesterday with grand fanfare and partying. Some pictures follow; (click on them to make them larger).
Here's Rayne (in the middle, with the kickin' hair) blowing out candles.
Much food and ice cream was had by all.
A potential garroting was narrowly averted.
Here's a slideshow of the pictures I took:
Good times!

headphone Review's greeting
Happy birthday to him! Another chapter in life and new challenges to be expected! Anyway, that was a fun party. And nice of you to make a blog out of his party, I think that's more fun and thoughtful. If you want to give him more presents, perhaps you'd like to drop by at my site, its http://www.world-of-zune.com/. I do have a lot of headphones very suitable for an age like that who loves music. And I do hope he loves music. Thanks!
