Aaron's Birthday

Aaron finally had a party to celebrate his birthday (the one year anniversary of his arrival) He had invited all his friends, and had to include his little sister Byuri too. When everyone was there, his Mom brought in the cake she'd ordered for him....

"Oh, wow! Look at that cake!!" and Lisa took out her phone to take pictures of it...

Milo got out his photo to take photos as well...

"Wow, what a fantastic cake!  Thanks Mom!!"

Aaron posed for a birthday portrait ....

Lisa was taking pictures too..

"And now a picture with your sister..."

"You got some great pictures!!"

Aaron was posing for his birthday portrait, when someone texted him..."Happy Birthday!"

He looked around, and everyone was on their phones....

Everyone was glued to their phones....

"Okay......?!?!"

Aaron's little sister came into the room and saw everyone on their phones....

"You call this a PARTY??"

"I'm telling Mom!!"

And off she went to find her Mom....
​
A few minutes later, her Mom came into the room carrying a basket.   "I've come to collect all your phones..."

"I'll take your's first..."

"And now your's. You can have them back when you go home."

Lonnie & Paige tried to quickly finish their texts....

"Why did you have to go and do that?!?!"

"In the basket, please...."

Aaron was so embarrassed and tried apologizing to his friends....

......as his Mom was going round confiscating everyone's phones....

"I'm so sorry, guys...."

"So, now what??"

Everyone was suddenly very bored....

"What are we supposed to do now??"

Then Byuri came trudging back in, carrying armloads of games.....

"How about some 'old-fashioned' games that you have to play with real people??"

"I guess we could give it a try. It's not like we have anything else to do anymore...."

Even though everyone was a little reluctant at first, they soon started to enjoy themselves....

Lonnie and Peach tried to beat each other at checkers....

While Angela, Milo, and Lisa played 'Sorry'....

...and Paige and Byuri played dominos....

Milo couldn't decide which of his men to move....

"Sorry!!"

Everyone was having a lot of fun...

..and no one seemed to miss their phones....

After the first round of games, everyone switched places to play some more.....

They all had so much fun that no one wanted to go home.   "That was the best party we've been to in a LONG time!!"
