Birthdays and more Birthdays

We had 3 more birthdays this past weekend. These kids just keep growing and it makes me sad to see it happen so quickly. But it is so much fun to be a part of the celebrations.

Tucker turned 3 years old on Friday the 16th. We weren't able to go down for his partying on that day but Grandad and I went down on Sunday afternoon to celebrate both Tucker's and Cooper's birthday. Cooper had his first birthday on the 18th. We had dinner with the family and then celebrated with cake and ice cream after opening all of the many gifts! Cooper seemed to be overwhelmed with all of the toys and he had lots of help to open them.

Cooper, how could it get any better than this?

Cooper spends time with Great Grandad.

Jenicca's birthday was also on Sunday the 18th. She turned 13 years old! A teenager and received makeup from her parents. What a beautiful young girl .... with or without the makeup! Phil was having a hard time having a teenage daughter. If we could only keep them little a while longer .......

The boa scarf was made and given to her by her Aunt Niccole.

Jenicca chose Winger's for dinner on Monday night.

A fun evening to celebrate!

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

January is full of birthdays in our family --- five of them --- and they all come within a 9 day range! It is so much fun to share these special days with the grandkids. They are so excited!

3 candles on a "Spiderman" cake

Carter celebrated his big day with us by going to Chili's for his birthday dinner and then we went back to his home to open gifts and to share his "Spiderman" cake and ice cream. Three years have passed so quickly!

Noah - January 11th - has a rootbeer float for his birthday

Noah chose to eat at Sizzler where he could have shrimp, his favorite food, and lots of it! Since his birthday fell on Sunday, we had his birthday dinner on Saturday evening. The waitress brought him a rootbeer float as a treat for his birthday! He was so impressed!

Lots of help from Jake in opening gifts

Noah opened his gifts and had his birthday cake (actually fruit pizza with candles) on Sunday. Grandpa had to work so he was only able to go to the dinner the night before but I stayed for the Sunday celebration as well. Noah turned 9 this year.

More birthdays to come this weekend .......
