Ross Birthday - January 23, 2003

Ross turns another year older. No, we won't tell how "old" he is getting. Heather sent out emails to let us know when she was planning a birthday party for Ross, so we could get it on our calendar.

The big day came and we arrived at Ross and Heather's. Her parents, Chuck and Sheri Gold were already there with Heather's grandmother, Bea. Heather had the house nicely decorated for the party. She made Ross's birthday cake and some delicous punch. We visited with Ross, Heather, Austin, and the Gold's until Ryan, Sarah, Josh, and Jenny (Heather's brother and his fiancé) showed up. We all had a nice time visitng and catching up on what has been happening in each other's lives. With both sets of grandparents there, Austin got a lot of attention.

After Ross opened his gifts, we were all ready for cake and ice cream. Of course, we had to wait until Ross blew out all of the many candles out on his birthday cake.
