Jeffrey turned 18 on Wednesday, July 15th . Coincidentally, the 15th was also the opening day for the newest Harry Potter Movie, "The Half-Blood Prince". Understanding that Jeffrey is the biggest Harry Potter fan on the planet, we planned a Surprise Party at the Movies for him. Here he is holding the movie tickets for the 12 noon showing, and glowing with happiness. The reason for the extra glow is that there is a ticket there not only for himself, Gregory, Mom, and Carolyn, but also for Michelle McMurray, a young woman in the ward who Jeffrey especially enjoys being with! We all had a wonderful time, loved the movie, and Jeffrey and Michelle enjoyed lively conversation while we waited for the movie to start. Another surprise for Jeffrey--the Perry family came to the movie also to share the good times with Jeffrey on his birthday!
After Dad got home from work Jeffrey opened birthday cards and presents, then we had his requested birthday dinner (he called it a "Harry Potter" dinner!) of roast beef, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
Angel food cake with Seven-Minute frosting! I didn't have eighteen candles, but I found a #1 and a #8 candle left over from Christina's 18th birthday. He thought that was great, because you could tell right away how old he was without doing all the counting! However, when taking his picture, the numbers are backwards, and it looks like he's 81!
Happy Birthday, dear Jeffrey, Happy Birthday to you! Looks like you're all ready to blow out your candles and have your wishes come true!
