Melissa's Birthday

Thursday was Melissa's birthday and Judi thought she should have a cake with candlesAfter the smoke cleared and we had sent away the fire and smoke responders, we removed all 29 candles. You can see the stack of candles.

Judi not only had cake but also had chocolate pudding. The pudding seems to have affected her.

Kaleb's First Birthday

We celebrated Kaleb's birthday at the campground where Joanne & Allan are staying. They had done a great job of decorating. Kaleb enjoyed the balloons.

Joanne made a cake for Kaleb with a "1" candle.

Here Joanne & Allan pose with the birthday boy.

This was what was left of the cake. Believe it or not the cake ended up going to the pigs. I mean that literally.

They had a pinata for Kaleb. Here he gets in his licks with Joanne's help.

Michael got in his whacks.

One of Allan's cousin finally gave the fatal whack and the race for the candy was on.

Kaleb enjoyed all the gifts and had fun with the wrappings.

Joanne tried to be cool but she was one proud mother. Notice her new haircut.

At the end of the day Kaleb was one tired little one year old.

Michael was trying his own version of "UP".

Present opening was interrupted by a call from brother Jonathan.


The stockings were hung with care, in hopes St. Nick would soon be there.




The kids enjoyed opening their gifts.
