A Great Birthday!



September 8, 2012

When you get to be as old as me- birthdays aren't quite as thrilling as they were when you were younger- you're just grateful for another year of life.  This birthday was extra special as we were able to spend it with Kristal and her family and Gary and his family. Only thing missing was Michael, Marty, Sarah, and Karli.

First on the agenda was Brooklyn and Caden's first soccer game.  We have never been able to see them play on their sports teams- so it was a special treat to get to see them play.

Boy- did it bring back so many memories of our AYSO soccer days.  I think we participated for 15 years straight.  Some times we had up to four games on one day. 
 Crazy- fun times!

This little guy was SO excited when he was included in team half time snacks

He can't wait to play!


Caden and Brookie and their victory tunnels


What a fun morning!

 
From there the day just got better and better
Gary, Kelli, Avery and Aiden arrived

Avery meets Munchie


The kids did lots of shows for me for my birthday.  Songs and dances!
So cute and sweet!


There were party games!
Marty would be pleased to know we played Blackjack Ninja
This little girl got 20 pts.  Whoo hoo!
She matched Papa's score!
Check out those smooth Ninja moves!




Fun times!

We ate a yummy dinner from Panda Express. 
 It was the kids first time eating with chopsticks!

Birthday presents, greetings, and phone calls from dear family and friends

topped off by a yummy icecream cake
Birthdays don't get much better than this. 
Thanks everyone for making my day SO special!
I love you all!
