My “little” brother’s birthday

Tony’s wife, Kristin, planned a surprise birthday party for him this year.  We gathered a week earlier than his actual birthday and filled their townhouse with 11 adults, 8 kids, and 1 dog.  The kids had a blast decorating the place and practicing using their noise makers before Kristin’s brother brought Tony to the party.  We had homemade soup, an assortment of breads and fruit, and cake, cupcakes and ice cream for dessert.  It was a fun excuse to get the entire family together to celebrate my favorite brother!
