Home - 2009 - Emory's birthday party

Photographer: Josh Eckels

Pre-party deliberations On the run Full contact golfing Coals ready for food Present pile Deciding what to do next Boden looking a little sleepy Kevin tends to the grill Careful stretching Plenty of sausage Fully inflated Not quite enough lung power yet Eyeing the birthday boy's plate Stroller-bound party-goer Nibbling Drie, hanging in there Sipping from the cup Chugging from the bottle Peeling the hotdog Blowing out the candles Not quite done Fully extinguished Tasty yet waxy Cupcake grab Diving in Licking off the frosting Jealous of everyone else's dessert Present time So cool Blocked by ribbons Pausing momentarily to read the card Off-camera: a pile of toy cars Reading and furiously unwrapping Sports gear Inspecting the new vehicle Stare-down The growing fleet New juicer Alpha-puzzle The unwrapping continues Savoring the cupcake New bike bell And new bike Test driving Completely oblivious to the upcoming punishment Taking the first swing A few more blows Roman takes a swing A swing and a yell More punishment Parents in the back Enjoying the pummeling A little more force Emory takes another turn The decisive blow A few more for good measure Mad scramble Going for the suckers Disembodied heads No shame Mouth-stuffing Approaching maximum capacity Too full Hiding
