WHO: Everyone! IC/OC
WHEN: early evening, Tuesday, 19 December 1999
WHERE: Pip & Anaïs' Rented Home, Stirling
SUMMARY: Pip is celebrating his 27^th birthday a few days early with all of his new UK friends.
RATING: Low

Pip does not normally celebrate his birthday. It's a bit hard when you're born on Christmas Day. Since he and Anaïs will likely be traveling back home for the holidays it felt like a perfectly good excuse to have a party. Its early enough in the evening that if people would like to bring their children they are able. Since alcohol will not be served, it will likely remain pretty family friendly, but Pip cannot make any guarantees when it comes to his teammates.

The decor leans heavily towards 'Birthday' over 'Christmas.' The only reason red and white is featured heavily is because of Canada, not Santa Claus. There are several Canadian specialties, including poutine and donair (both of which probably don't rate to the stuff you can find back home). Homemade beaver tails and maple s'mores in addition to moose cupcakes are the desserts. Some say that's too many sweets. Pip says that's nonsense.

Gifts were not expected and if someone was kind enough to bring one, they were thanked multiple times. Dogs are probably making nuisances of themselves and if you spot a pair of unfamiliar faces, you might have caught sight of Pip's maternal grandparents, Montgomery Wildsmith and Edna Ross Wildsmith.

Owen arrives with the kids and Lorna in tow. Fergus and Rhonna are polite and wish "Mr Pip" a happy birthday, before making a direct line for the dogs. Owen offers Pip his hand to shake and has a hug for Anais. There's also an envelope addressed to Pip with a gift certificate for a romantic dinner in Hogsmeade that gets left on a table without ceremony some time during the party.

	David came to wish Pip a happy birthday! He brought a small gift (lol not really it's 200 galleons) in the form of a gift certificate to Quality Quidditch Supplies. And then he promptly went to go make friends with the dogs because dogs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ainsley shows up a few minutes late, but greets Pip and Anais enthusiastically, wishing the former many happy returns of the day. She doesn't bring a present, but slyly slips some more cookies amongst the already sizable spread. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Meaghan shows up with some art to make them feel at home. She is not in love with the dogs ~~or anything~~ but she does find herself petting them, and then continuing to pet them when she realizes how soft they are, and somehow they manage to get her to hold onto a toy and suddenly she's playing tug without realizing it?

	Lex arrives (maybe with Micah?) and greets Anais warmly as well as Pip. She's looking forward to get to know him better and compliments them both on the decor, food, and dogs.. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
