A 21st Birthday...McQ style

On Saturday, November 19th, my baby brother Joe turned 21! Unfortunately, on Saturday November 19th, Central Minnesota saw it's first snow storm of the year, causing Hwy 94 between the cities and SJU to close as Joe was on his way back to college to celebrate with his buds...so instead, he got to turn around and party with his family...just what every 21 year old dreams about I'm sure! :)

So Mike and I were put in charge of the booze (I'm not quite sure why that's always our responsibility, but people must think we are good at it or something!) and we headed up to Eden Prairie to my parent's house to celebrate for the night. The rest of the night was spent around my parents kitchen table eating, drinking, teaching them how to play drinking card games ("P&A" turned into "princesses and jerks" for the little ones) and a lot of laughs.

This was also a great excuse for Mike and I to test out our new purchase, a brand new camera! We/I absolutely LOVE it, and I was able to capture some great pictures of the night!

Additionally, my family is in to supporting MOVEMBER, but the McQuillan men, apart from my dad are not so great at growing a mustache, so a fake one played a pretty prominent role in the evening. Overall, I'd call the night a success for us, and hopefully a good consolation party for my little bro!

Happy birthday Joe!!


The Birthday boy...a Guiness and a cupcake!
Mason loved uncle Joe's hat!

I never realized how much my older bro and my dad looked unlike...until the mustache!

Thanks to Joe's GF Leah for organizing a great party!
