Tom's 22nd Birthday Bash

• It was Tom's 22nd birthday, held on Halloween (because it was a Saturday).
  The usual luminaries showed up, like Grandpa, Grandma,
  
  • (see the special page starring Grandma and Mindy!)
  
  and of course Mom and Dad, not to mention the dogs.

• Mom and Elwood capture the moment.
  Here, Elwood enjoys himself on the chair (he's not really supposed to be there, is he?).

• Gina couldn't be there, since she's in Germany, but she did call and talk to Tom for a bit.

• Some of Tommy's little friends showed up, too. They hung around outside, gabbing
  Then Jon showed up and messed with the dog and Tom

• We had a nice lunch of sandwiches and meatballs and all kinds of things. After lunch, Tom got anxious for his cake. It finally came , and all was forgiven. Of course, what's cake without blowing out the candles?
  

• When all was said and done, Tom and Mindy relaxed for a bit, probably thinking about a piece of cake.
