Brad and Benjamin's (2) birthday was on November 16th. Benjamin couldn't wait to open his presents when he awoke in the morning. Joseph was more than happy to offer technical support.
At night, we had a family birthday party for the boys. Julene made gluten-free chocolate cupcakes for Ben and bought a Claim Jumper Motherlode chocolate cake for the rest.
Ben was blowing out the candles with Brad's help.
Happy Birthday Brad and Benjamin!
Joshua's birthday was on a Sunday this year. His only wish was to get an airsoft rifle.
His dream came true. Along with his rifle, he got a target to shoot at, some glasses to protect his eyes and glow in the dark ammo.
The Rifleman.
Allyse's friends came to the party dressed in their pajamas, and they brought their favorite pillows and blankets. The party started with the girls using fabric markers to decorate tiny pillows Grandma Alice has made specially for the party. Then, the girls decorated their own sleepy flip flops with jewels and feather boas.
They painted their fingernails using their new manicure sets. They ate pizza and had root beer floats. Of course, they had a pillow fight and read a bedtime story.
The girls patiently waited for their turn to have Allyse open up their present.
Allyse opened up Lindsey's present.
Allyse opened up Abby's present. (Notice Angelina had to be in every picture.)
