Fall Birthday Party

We have a lot of fall birthdays in my family so we decided to combine them into one BIG party.  Connor, Mackenzie, Maria, Morgan, Paige and Avery all have birthdays in Sept and Oct.  Bob hosted the party this year at his place.  The cousins always have such a great time together!  I am so grateful for how close our family is.  My sisters and brother are my world and I love them very much.  I don't think you find a family very often that is so genuinely happy and excited to spend time together like we are.  I hope that I can pass that on to my children.  It seems the cousins are already creating a close bond and that is so exciting to watch.  Family is very important to us!

On our way to my brothers house, we stopped to watch 2 of my nieces play basketball.  Maria and Morgan had great games.  It is fun to see them play and they were so excited that they had people there to cheer them on!

 I am so excited Avery asked for scrapbooking stuff for her birthday.  It is so fun to do it with her!

 The BOP IT!  She had been waiting and waiting for this gift!

 It's my birthday!  Here she is all dressed up in one of her birthday outfits she got from grandma.  Grandma took her to Caribou the morning of her birthday and she got her first Caribou treat!  She was so excited!
