Who Did It?

The year was 1955, the table was set, candles lit and characters in place...the question was who was Tom Dooley's murderer?
A couple weeks ago, the James' hosted a murder mystery dinner for Melinda's birthday and it was a blast! Previous to the dinner she gave out parts to everyone, so everyone was dressed accordingly. I was the photographer so let me introduce...  
Barbie Que-
Tom Dooley's hot mistress
 Chubby Cheddar-
A famous recording artist, or should I say lip sync'r, that had a lot of cash.
Tiara Diamond-
Tom's fiance'
 Ivan Spudnik-
The Russian scientist Tom was working with.
 Bobby Sox-
Tom's 17yr old niece and her boyfriend Jonny Angel
 Dom-
the smoking onlooker
(disclaimer: these are fake cigarettes!!!)
Peggy Sue -
the newspaper columnist trying to put the facts together
Dan Dragnet-
the police detective
 Jonny Angel-
Tom's greaser that worked his garage who turned out to be a Russian CIA working with Ivan
(again...Fake Cigarette!!!)
Who was after Tom's money?
 Well we found out... the murderer was...his fiance' Tiara Diamond aka Brandilyn!
Everyone was so fun to watch in character as they acted their parts out, quite hilarious actually!
It was such a fun night, so out of the norm which made it even more fun.  Happy Birthday Melinda!!!

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Jordan!  As tradition we celebrated Jordan's birthday by going out with some good friends to PF Changs, 5th year in a row.  As always great food and great company make for a great night.  We celebrated the night before his birthday since it was on a Sunday and Drake was probably more excited than Jordan the day of.   We always put up a birthday banner in celebration and when Drake woke up the morning of Daddies birthday, he came out and saw the banner and said "Oh my goodness, birthday!...we eat cake!" He loved helping Jordan open his presents and wearing the birthday hat and of course eating cake after singing "Happy Birthday".  It was a pretty mellow day going to church and then home the rest of the day but still a fun one!
