Stan's Surprise Birthday Dinner

Stan's birthday this year fell on the day after Thanksgiving.  Despite that fact, we had already decided that it would be a work day.  Organize our computer area, decorate for Christmas, etc.  We planned a very simple meal without dessert since we were still feeling too full from Thanksgiving the day before.  However, our Ecuadorian friends would NOT hear of it!  To not acknowledge a friend's birthday is almost an insult, so they surprised him with a chicken dinner and an ice cream cake.  Pictured here (from right to left) is Harrison (seminary student), Solomon (seminary staff and one of Stan's best friends), Landon, Stan, Lucy (Solomon's wife and Stan's assistant), Susy (seminary student and one of Sherri's best friends) and Mary.  It was a wonderful evening.  Afterwards we relaxed and watched a movie together.
