Happy Birthday Grandma Carol and Justin!

We celebrated my mom's birthday and Justin's 15th birthday! Mark is so comfy here in mom's new "Snuggie".


Making a wish...

Happy Birthday Gpa, Lila and Holly

Today we celebrated 3 birthdays: Gpa, my niece Lila and mine. We partied at my brother Tim and Jen's house. The yummy cake was made by Jen.


I made my dad's favorite banana cake but Mark couldn't wait to get into it!

Today is Gpa Clyde's birthday. Although the party will be held at the end of the month, we decided to bring a cake over and surprise him after lunch. Grandpa's favorite cake is a yellow cake with white frosting and topped with bananas! My nephew Cole helped me with the bananas!


Gma Carol lit the candles which my niece Abby arranged.

So much to be Thankful for...

I am so thankful for my family and for the fact that we are all so close to each other. The picture is kinda dark but this is Justin, Lila, Evan, Uncle Daniel, Tyler, Cole, Noah, Ethan and Abby. My 2 boys, my baby brother and my nieces and nephews.


My mom and dad and my brother Daniel...Daniel is always keeping us laughing.

We also celebrated 3 birthdays. Cole, Mark and Daniel.

Cole and Mark read his card.

One of Justin's many gifts.

Justin said that he wanted $ for his gifts- Uncle Mark and clan gave it to him all in quarters!

He made out like a bandit!

Justin wanted chocolate cake and Gma wanted lemon bars.

After the party Justin fell down outside while riding his skateboard. Important lesson learned: never run through wet grass and then jump on a skateboard without drying your shoes off!
