CELEBRATING ME, LORI, HEIDI, ALLY, BROOKY, AND MARK

We have been having a hard time

getting together to celebrate Lori, Heidi, and my birthdays.

There were 2 couples who had gone on trips, 

other parties, Deer Hunt, and mom's surgery.

We decided to celebrate two months together!

(Camry & Katie, October 3, celebrate with

Courtney & Shay, September 26, and Ashley, September 18)

We celebrated Sunday, November 12.

There was

Lori, October 10, 31

Heidi, October 25, 30

Me, October 26, older than dirt

Ally, November 15, 4

Brooky, November 15, 4

Mark, November 17, 38

(Mark was born on his inlaws wedding day!)

Oh, Heidi's knees!

Ally & Brooky got Barbies and pink convertibles

Ally got a raccoon toy storage bag from Aunt Ann

Brooky got at fox toy storage bag from Aunt Ann

I got a Minky Couture BYU blanker and a

family picture from Katie & CJ's wedding

Kim and Ashley took care of my gifts.

They work together in their ward with the Young Women.

They do the Night of Excellence, New Beginnings, and help

the girls work towards their medallions.

Great partnership!

Kenzie is practicing for her 2nd birthday

in 2 months.

Ally's new kitty slippers

Brooky has unicorn slippers

This is the 3rd year that I have had a 

"Birthday Wish List."

This year, there was:

Leaves picked up in the hedges, ivy cut back, new toilet handle,

fireplace gas turned on, light bulbs changed, patio cushions

put away.

I also ask for an updated photo of each kid for my wall.

(Didn't get Camille's kids yet)

There's room for 2 on the right, 3 on left, and

6 on the bottom. (I'm sure that won't happen)

And my favorite gift!
