We went to Yasi's surprise 18th birthday party at her house in Oakton. Actually, we took Yasi to her own surprise birthday party. I was the designated distraction so I took her to the mall under the pretense of needing some goods from LL Bean (where she works). It was a bonus for us because we got to spend extra time with Yasi and w ended up shopping and buying a bunch of stuff with her employee discount. ; )
The birthday party was a lot of fun. As always, dinner at my aunt and uncle's house was outstanding. The kids really enjoyed seeing the whole family. It's amazing how they instinctively know the difference between family and strangers because neither one of them hesitates to give someone a hug, or a kiss, or even sit on their lap even if its the first time they've met that family member. I have to think it has to do with psychological concept called "social referencing" when they see that Adam and I are comfortable and at ease with an individual they know it's okay.
