Craig's 41

We have decided that maybe we just shouldn't celebrate Craig's birthday. After last year having almost forgotten Craig's birthday, yes, I know, I forgot the big "40". I blame it on the storm and most of the ward being out of power. It was a Call from Mom and Dad Homer that reminded me of his birthday. This year I decided to make up for it with a nice birthday dinner/family night with our friends the Dunklee's. We had Chicken Fajitas, fruit, and Stephanie had made Craig a delicious homemade carrot cake. The Dunklee's showed up at a little after six. I finished making the chicken for the fajitas and had the rest of the meal ready. At 7pm Craig wasn't home and wasn't answering his cell phone. We decided to start family night and figured he would show up at some point. A few minutes later Craig called, his 2pm appointment showed up at 3:15, and when he looked at the clock it was 5:30. He was in New Jersey, while driving home there were two major accidents on Route 17, he made it home about 9pm, just in time to open presents before the boys had to get to bed. We had a great dinner and party without him, maybe next year we will get it right.
