Ready...Set...Go!

On October 29, we held our pre-brain-surgery party with appropriately themed food and activities. Several of our friends were able to join us for a festive evening, which gave us fun things to think about rather than worrying about packing and preparing for a little while.

One of the activities was a brain quiz (we'll post it soon for those of you not able to join us!), but the highlight of the evening was the preparatory hair cut. Adam chose to have his head shaved even though the surgeon had told him that although it made things easier, it wasn't absolutely necessary. I think that it had something to do with the fact that the eventual scar will show up ever so much better with less hair to obstruct the view!

At any rate, Adam chose to make the hair cut part of the activities, and everyone who wanted to participate was invited to take a pass or two with the hair clippers. You can see from the photo below that Adam was thrilled to be taking part in this activity!



And here is the new look!

The "brain" jello...



...and Brian's birthday cake!

very Kaney-esque! I would expect no less :)
Look forward to your posting the Brain Quiz, of course!

So when do we get to take the quiz? SO wish we'd been able to be there for the brainy/briany party, and we're definitely sending good vibes for the morrow.
