Party, Party, Party!!!
November is fun with birthdays for our family. Susie insisted on having another Dog Party for Roxy’s birthday. She invited 10 or 11 dogs and 6 came! She was disappointed that they didn’t all come! It was plenty crazy with 7 dogs…Susie made a dog cake and everything.
Jason’s birthday is the same day and with the dog party and two church meetings (stake conference and it takes over an hour to get to the stake center-we’re not in Utah anymore!!!) we celebrated his birthday Sunday night with some friends. We had brownies and ice cream and lots of loud kids running through the house! I love our home but it is not very big for 6 adults and 12 kids. We miss having a basement to send the noise down to!
Katie’s birthday was on the 19th. She turned 7 years old. She was beyond excited! We planned an old fashioned party with activities like 3 legged race, gunny sack race, tug a war, pin the feather on the turkey and the best was pie eating contest! We wanted to do apple bobbing but it was a little cold and I figured it would turn into a water fight! She had a lot of fun. We gave the kids carmel apples and pink popcorn balls. I just had to laugh…none of the kids we invited had ever had a popcorn ball!!! Is that a west thing? It was hilarious watching their faces, they really did not want to try it (“What is this pink thing?”)but when they finally did they asked for more! One of the moms asked me later for the recipe because her daughter wanted her to make some!
