What a great party. The invitation said Open House so we were expecting some snacks, appetizers and birthday cake. What we got was an open bar, hot appetizers, soup, salad, beef, chicken, potatoes, veggies, rolls, 2 birthday cakes and platters of pastries including eclairs, cannoli, cream puffs, baklava, and others. I brought home a container with enough food for two more meals. The birthday boy was indeed surprised. It turned out he had told his family he didn't want a party. Who listens to their elders nowadays? He was thrilled to see everyone there. There were about 100 friends and family there. All ages from babies to those of us a little older. Retired firemen (He is one.)and cops in uniform (He volunteers there now.) We all had a wonderful time. It was a great night.
