Beth's 21st Birthday Parties, 14-16 Aug 2004

Beth turned 21 on 16 Aug 2004. Rather than just having one party to celebrate this, Beth got three (her parents' place on Saturday, my parents' place on Sunday, and Cheddars/Beverly Cinemas/Legends on Monday), with another one to come on Friday (that one won't allow pictures). Here's the sets...

Party I - Chicago
Beth's parents threw the first party, a nice informal affair with cake and barbecue.
Party I - Lighting Candles
I told Beth about our family's history at killing those that can't blow out all their candles. She decided not to put on too many.
Party I - Blowing Out Candles
She succeeded. No death for her!
Party I - Flowers
Roses for Beth.
Party II - Dad
Getting ready to barbecue. Noticing a pattern?
Party II - Beth
She came in a few minutes after me and Danny.
Party II - Bridget
Margaret's always excided dog.
Party II - Bridget Begs
"What? Food?"
Party II - Bridget Jumps
Here's where I fear for the camera.
Party II - Bridget Continues To Beg
Oh, the joys of playing with a large dog and a camera!
Party II - Birthday Sombrero
It's purple!
Party II - Birthday Sombrero, II
It's huge!
Party II - Birthday Sombrero, III
Beth has no idea what to do with it!
Party II - Birthday Sombrero, IV
It's also dangerous!
Party II - Cake
I like how the candles make the flash turn off.
Party II - Blowing Out Candles
See? As they're out, the flash goes back to normal!
Party II - Serving Ice Cream
Dad takes one part...
Party II - Serving Cake
...while Mom takes the other. Teamwork!
Party II - Presents
Poor Beth. She didn't want presents.
Party II - Margaret
Oddly, she's not actually annoyed at me. Much.
Party II - Gifts
An Indian wall hanging...
Party II - Gifts, II
...and some little Pooh books. Yay, garage sales!
Party II - Fun with the Cake Server
Danny likes showing off.
Party II - Fun with the Cake Server, II
I like taking pictures of Danny showing off.
Party II - Fun with the Cake Server, III
We're symbiotic that way.
Party II - Fun with the Cake Server, IV
Darren's expression amuses me almost as much as Danny's.
Party II - Beth and Tim
A cute picture
Party II - Beth and Tim, Closer
A cuter picture
Party II - Beth and Tim, EXTREME CLOSEUP
Make it stop!
Party III - Danielle
Finally moved in again. Also of note: the sombrero!
Party III - Jameson
I don't think I had a shot of him before.
Party III - Vered and Jacen
Waiting for us to show up.
Party III - Angela and Pat
Now roomates! Sortof, anyway.
Party III - Bill Party III - The Table
Going around... Beth, Darren, Lindsay (hiding), Jenny, Danielle, Jacen (hiding), Vered, Stuart, Angela
Party III - Danielle and Jacen
A glare from one, a scratched nose from the other. Whee.
Party III - Bill Draws
I hadn't seen him doing it for a while, so it amused me.
Party III - Table, Other Side
Beth, Darren, Jameson, Lindsay, Jenny, Danielle, Jacen, Vered, Stuart, Bill.
Party III - Beth's First Drink
EVER. Yeah. Sure. It was coconut and pineapple (a painkiller?), and nobody liked it.
Party III - Danny
Posing for some reason.
Party III - Danny's New Drink
He gets all the free stuff!
Party III - Jenny
An interesting glare there.
Party III - Beth's Free Dessert
We couldn't identify it, but it was free!
Party III - Tony
Our last arrival came from Bloomington, and gave me Summer Fun Cthulhu! Yay!
Party III - Jenny's Not-Quite-Pose
Jenny wanted me to get a picture of her shoes, but forgot that she was wearing a short skirt until the last second. This was her attempt to reconcile these facts.
Party III - Roommates
Jenny, Danelle, Lindsay, and Beth, all spiffed up.
Party III - Darren and Adrienne
It's an amusing shot if you know Darren at all...
Party III - First Drink, Again
This time, it's red! (And you can see the <FISH>< on her arm, too...)
Party III - Pat
Not bad for a random shot.
Party III - More Drinks
They just kept on accumulating
Party III - Overview
I don't recognize everyone here. Oh well.
Party III - Drunkening Beth
It's not just the red-eye, she really is getting tipsy...
Party III - Adrienne with the Hat
Everybody loves Pat's hat!
Party III - Heading Out
And so I take off to get myself some sleep.
Party III - Going Home
I may have had to leave early, but I got some good shots of the campus at night on the way. This is Grainger...
Party III - Engineering Quad
...and the rest of the Engineering Quad. Not too bad for the amount of sleep I needed!
