Like every other spoiled 14 year old, Jordan got a double celebration for her 14th birthday. This first set of pictures are from Luther's Bar & Grill where they host a weekly drag show on Saturdays. This was the 3rd time this month that we went there -- Michael's 50th birthday, Michelle's 29th birthday and this time for Jordan's 14th birthday. But the show is always entertaining and the laughs and drinks come easily.

Jordan, of course, was the 'princess' of the party wearing her tiara well. Here you can see her holding her 'cookie-cake'. (Yes, it was delicious!)

The MC, who goes by the stage name of Lin-Z Andrews, was hilarious (as usual). She got the 'birthday' people up on the stage for more fun and laughs! Jordan is the one in the middle with the white and black dress on.

We all met at the Melting Pot for great food, drinks, cake and presents. This was the Monday before the drag show at Luther's. A little bit pricey but fun experience where you actually cook your meal at the table in specially prepared pans. Despite the fact that we did all the cooking, we still had to pay for the meal. (What a racket, huh?) But it was a delicious experience -- a 4 course meal that ended with S'mores, Chocolate and Bananas Foster fondue desserts. I still can't decide which one tasted the best!

The cocktails were amazing. One of the best of the night was the 'Ying-Yang' drink to the left. It was a dessert all by itself with a little kick at the end. That's Dad to the right doing the 'chef'-thing. That blue-green drink in front of me was called a Gummy-Bear Martini.

You know, doubling up on Jordan's birthday turned into so much fun, I'm thinking we should celebrate everyone's birthday 2 weekends in a row. It sure turned out to be fun doing it twice and life's too short not to maximize the fun times.
Am I right? (I'll forego any logical argument and assume that I am!)
