November Birthday's!
Yes, BOTH birthday people are from our house.

This year we have a tradition with the birthday hat. My mom bought it and she holds on to it throughout the year. The kids can't wait for her to bring it on their special day. The adults -- well, we humor the kids!
This birthday celebration was large. We decided to have both sides of the family over for one BIG party. So, Sunday dinner was
14 kids -- ages 3 months to 15
15 adults
Matt picked the menu this time.
Homemade pork barbecue sandwiches. They were delicious!
Green bean casserole from Aunt Kim, cheesy potatoes from Aunt Sara, fresh fruit and dip from Aunt Audrey, homemade coleslaw from my mom , chips and dip Lauren and sweet corn from Aunt Kim.
YES -- EVERYONE helps out with a big dinner!
We also made a yummy punch for everyone -- yes, even added sherbet.
The kids were lovin it!
After dinner all the kids played while we cleaned up. NO FIGHTS!!! Wow! It was great!
Next, open presents!
Elizabeth LOVES presents -- but who doesn't!

She also got lined Hello Kitty crocs -- she thinks they are GREAT!
She got a doll carrier -- it can be carried on her back and the straps are adjustable. WHICH is amazing that they go small enough for her!
