Daddy's Birthday


We had a nice, quiet celebration for Eric's birthday this year.  The two of us went out to eat at our local Asian cuisine (no longer in business, bummer), and then we came home and had cake.
He's getting to be an old man! ;)

The Fam on Thanksgiving

Pilgrim Girl


The next week, she came home dressed like this. :)

Esther's Birthday


On Esther's birthday we brought in cupcakes for everyone, and they were all dressed up like Native Americans in honor of Thanksgiving.  So cute.








Pumpkin Carving


Still playing catch-up on my pictures.  These are, obviously, from October.


 This is so Caleb up above.  He doesn't really like to get his hands dirty.





Well, you can kinda see its face. :)

Abby's 7th and Essie's 5th Birthday Bash





Abby turned 7 this year, and Esther turned 5, and they both wanted to have another combined party this year, so I thought, "Hm, okay.  Why not?"  No.  Actually, I thought "Whooooopeee!!!  Another year we can get away with a combined party." :)  It really was fun, even though Abby had just broken her arm two days prior, so she couldn't jump in the jumphouse. :(  She had fun videotaping it, though.

Here are a couple of the dads, also good friends of ours.







And there were more gifts; I'm just sparing you all the pictures.


All the girls.  There were a couple boys that came, but they had to leave early.
Happy birthday to our two beautiful girls.

My friend Katie and I lighting the cake.  I got the better end of the deal with my lighter. ;)


Good day.  Fun memories.
