Happy Birthday and Family Fun

The family planned my favorite meal to celebrate my birthday....Mexican dishes to die for! The three Heather's will have to share the recipes...ymmmmm The grandchildren were as excited as I was to see the fun gifts, pictures opened. Thank you all for the phone calls, gifts, and cards!
Heath made my favorite upside down cake which my grandmother use to make for our birthdays when I was a child. Grateful Mikal and Dave did not put on the correct number of candles or we would have started a forest fire.

Joe's family gave the twins these adorable quilts made by Heather with their names on each quilt. Megan was the first to hold the twins...then the rest of the family had a fun time passing them around.
"We miss Madison, Brooke, and Mel" says Alyssa, Christa, Jenna, Becki, & Miranda
Nate, Sam and Daniel were busy building lego's...hey were's Spencer?
The Heather's put all 25 grandchildren names in a hat so cousins could pick names for Christmas. Each would pick one name for themselves and then which ever name they chose, they would chose another name for that person. Matt's Heather will be sending out the list. The children really had a fun time and excited about the names they picked out of the hat. Even the twins put their hands in the hat and grabbed a name.
Just kickin' back enjoying the day and each other.Three of our boys.....now dad's themselves
While the children played upstairs, the adults sat around in a circle and played this new church game....and laughed....and laughed!
Isn't he a cutie? our little Ben. To listen to him....he is a little man in a child's body. Has lots of questions and very curious about everything. He sure misses Christian!
And this is how Joe works from home...what a life! He came over Monday morning and spent the day working.
