Birthday parties!

We've had 2 birthdays this month (that's all, you're thinking?!) Michael is 11 and Christopher is 14. They had a fun combination birthday party (their choice) and invited several friends to join in on the fun. Best of all, Grandma Gretchen from Arizona made a SURPRISE visit out for a few days and was able to attend the party, too! They had a pinata stuffed with tons of candy- 9 1/2 pounds to be exact and a very fun treasure hunt where they had to figure out clues to find where the hidden treasure was. Here's a picture of them working hard on those clues....


The big highlight of the gifts was definitely the laser tag sets from Grandma-they love them and play them continuously. Lots of boy fun!


Grandma was able to stay a few more days after and we were able to make a fun trip to the park before she had to return back home..





Even little Luke got in on some of the fun! Isn't he just adorable?



Overall, a great visit-my kids are counting the days until the next one!
