Olivia's Birthday!

Oops! I forgot to post about Livie's Birthday. Since we had such a celebration at her Baptism (the day after Thanksgiving) we played it low key for the actual birthday. We had our fun cousin's come, of course. We did the usual - open presents and then have dessert which was not cake because with all these birthdays in our family all at the same time we all are SICK of cake.

Here's cute Olivia in front of her door and opening her present that Alexa made for her.


Here she is on her new scooter! I think everyone took a turn on it and her cousins taught her some sweet moves to do on it.


The best thing we did (I thought) was we took all the kids halloween candy (only choc. bars, of course) and crushed them up. We softened some ice cream and mixed in all the candy bars. Then we put it in a graham cracker pie crust and put it in the freezer to set. It was great getting rid of all that candy and we didn't have to have cake.

Brenden, McKenna, Landon, Alexa and Mommy

You don't know, but I totally stole your door idea! My favorite is that Tyler didn't even notice it when he woke up! I just love that idea, though, so I will keep doing it anyway. Loved the icecream pie idea, too, yum!

Maren,

I guess that makes our families the "boring" cousins. More likely, though, she means your family, since my family is too far away for anyone to have reasonably expected to be at said birthday party. Try livening it up a bit, will ya? (I'm kidding, Cass & Marn).
