Jons Best Ever Birthday!!!

Well, that's to be debated, but it was funny!!! I put this on his bedroom door with streamers hanging down.Jon has been very involved in politics this year, and he is finally old enough to vote.....it all started a few weeks ago when we found a birthday card with Hillary Clintons picture on it with a sentiment about how there were worse things than turning another year older. It all ballooned from there. Jon is.... should I say.... NOT a Hillary fan and gets upset just listening to her (his youthfulness comes out). A coworker of mine thought it would be funny if we decorated his room as if he were her #1 supporter. (Sorry to offend any Hillary fans out there but...fun is fun).
While Jon was at work, we decided to do it up big. Josh made this huge poster saying "Clinton Headquarters"....I decorated everything in red and blue streamers.
Richard got in on the fun by printing off Clinton for President signs. If you enlarge this one it even has a picture that he found with Hillary's body and Bills face imposed on it....a "Billary" picture it was called....
This was about all the fun he had with us for his birthday. He got home from work at 11:30 PM (too late, but luckily he only has 27 more days of school) and found this. The next day (his actual birthday) he was in Ellensburg WA for the State Solo and Ensemble competition. He was in a Brass ensemble....they came in 2nd) He was gone for 2 days and then it was back to work. We didn't have a party or anything.... took him out to dinner Saturday night. And because of the lateness of the hour we didn't get a single birthday picture of him:(
HAPPY (belated) 18TH BIRTHDAY JON!!!
