Birthday Party On Strathmore

Ain’t no party like a Strathmore party, cause a Strathmore party don’t stop. Well at least until John passes out on the couch watching reruns of The Office. But that would happen for this party to celebrate Bobbie’s 27th birthday. A shin dig that started with Bobbie saying “I don’t want anything too big for my birthday” turned into a pretty nice sized bash with a four person Party Planning Committee (known as the PPC).

The evening began with a nice dinner with friends and family. Lauren’s Chicken Tacos, Kristin’s Home Made Mac and Cheese, John’s Sweet Baby Ray’s Meatballs and a green salad started off the food with desert consisting of Katie’s Confetti Cake and the KEY LIME PIE THROWDOWN! See that what happens when two people bring the same dish to a party, you have to have a throw down!

So here are the two pies:

Kristin’s the one that actually looks like a Key Lime Pie where as John’s was yellow(?). Now on with the taste test.

While John’s pie may have won the taste test - it was true, Kristin’s Mac and Cheese was the best dish, in fact, it was the only dish that we would not have left-overs of the day.

After dinner, the party became a typical House on Strathmore bash. There was good friends . . .
A dance party . . . .
And of course flip cup . . .
This is where Bobbie, the birthday girl had a legen…wait for it...dary performance during a round of survivor flip cup where she knock off 4 guys in a row to take home the championship.
So, all in all a pretty successful Party on Strathmore and a great birthday party for Bobbie.

Big thanks to all that came and HUGE thanks to the rest of the P.P.C.!

Thanks to Katie O'Connell for additional photos.
