Back to School Ice Cream Party!!!! I can't believe we've done this for 15 years! Holy cow, that means Mabry's in the 14th grade (we started in Kindergarten)! As usual, the 3 course meal includes an appetizer (ice cream cone), the entree (banana split) and dessert (hot fudge sundae). We had around 40 people come, which is par for the course. It's really an open house type deal, with people coming and going as they please. Usually we hold it on a school night, but because I was caught totally by surprise when school started (When my friend called Wednesday night to ask if we were having it Thursday, I said, "Why would we? It's not til the first day of school", to which she replied, "Well, the first day of school is tomorrow!" (insert shocked and confused face here)) we held it this past Friday night instead. As a result, the last of the partiers left around 11:30 pm! I guess that's why we hold it on a school night, so folks HAVE to go home at a decent hour! :)*

What a fun way to start the school year! I'm so glad we had only 3 days of school before the weekend, and I'm sure Pete and Ryan were glad there were only 2. So, Mabry's in the 14th grade, Pete's 12th, and Ryan's 9th? Inconceivable! Have a great year!
It is hard to believe how much the kiddos are growing up. Man.
But what a fun tradition for the first day of school!
