So, after some formalities like cutting cake, and “talking” to people, the party moved on the it’s intended purpose.  And that was, apparently, taking pictures of people’s crotches.  Note: You will need a login to view these pictures to protect the “innocent”.  Email me if you need a login.  From there, you can also view full size versions of other pictures.

At this point, for whatever reason, we decided to attack Doug.

Nothing much came of that, except for a really awkward feeling that I got right after that.  To tell you the truth, I felt kind of dirty.  I can’t really explain why.  Ooooh, speaking of Doug, thanks for bringing the fabulous bottle of Pinot Noir.

I’m not really sure what is happening here.  Everyone seems to think that this picture is hilarious, but I really don’t see what’s to funny:

I mean, I just really don’t get it… it must be the face that Lucy is making or something.

Of course, no party would be complete without Jon Neal whipping out the laptop.

This was followed by about 30 minutes of trying to get the stupid wireless internet to work, which always seems to be a bit of a pain at the Ledezma house.  Not really sure what’s up with that.

Inevitably, Jon Lyons had to take a bathroom break.  I am not really sure what made him think that he needed to hide in the bathtub.  I mean, diarrhea is really nothing to be ashamed of.  Either way, he was thoroughly freaked out when he saw a mysterious hand, and a blinking red light creep its way over the top of the shower door.

And, sadly, as quickly as it had started the party drew to an end.  It was a great time, and I know it certainly won’t be the last for this infamous group of friends.  But, for this party, what’s left is just a sign of things to come…

Ok, peeps.  Here it is.  The long awaited photo Birthday Party Photo Blog.  As always, click images to see a bigger version.  Or, if you’re looking for the Full Size version of the picture (about 2048×1536) check them out in our Gallery.

The date was December 22nd, 2007.  A Saturday.  And, with shoddy Christmas lights marking the location we began a party that would be remembered by some as epic, and others not at all.

Thanks to Brian’s sister Kelly, we had a beautiful cake to enjoy.  Kelly is a professional cake decorator so it is no surprise that we had such a nice cake! 

Of course no cake would be complete without a candle.  Unfortunately for the completeness of this cake, we had no candles.  So, ever cool under pressure, I did the only reasonable thing and used a barbecue lighter as a candle.

  Just be thankful that I didn’t stick the stupid thing into the cake.

Here, we decided to cut the cake.  As you know, picking just the right spot to make the first slice is crucial.

After the cake was cut, it was time for presents.  Needless to say, I was shocked by many of my gifts!  Thanks everyone!  Here’s an actual photo of me opening a present.  Let me assure you that this wasn’t at all posed.

After presents it was time to attend to more important matters.  In fact most of the time after that seemed to be devoted to just taking pictures to use on next year’s party invitations.  These two pictures are definitely front-runners for all future promotional materials.

With that, I bid you wait for the next installment.  There are just so many pictures, that it seems a bit overwhelming to put them all in one entry.  So, this is the natural split.  This is the blog that you want to show your kids.   Good clean fun, nothing too exciting, just some beautiful people having a good time.  In the next installment, we dig a bit deeper into the annual birthday bash’s seedy underbelly.  The West Hollywood to this blog’s Brentwood.  Check back soon…

Well, it’s December 18th, 2007.  That means it’s my birthday!  So, in the next few days expect to see some birthday related pictures here.  Outings, shopping, etc… and don’t forget the long awaited December 22nd Paola/Scott Birthday bash!  It’s going to kick some major ass, so make sure to come!
