Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

Love,

Brad, Kendyll, Wesley, and Jack

A month of birthdays

Birthdays are great, especially when they're unexpected. Brad and I greeted Wesley with a very cheerful "Happy Birthday" when he woke up on his birthday, to which he replied "I thought I already had my birthday". He was clearly confused since we celebrated days earlier. But that confusion turned to elation when we broke out his present bright and early...

...he didn't stop playing to get dressed until hours later. Cute kid.

Grandma and Grandpa Larson sent this big boy backpack and he wears it proudly.

Finally, capping off a full week of celebrating, we had family over Sunday night for dinner, cake, and presents. Thanks everyone for all the birthday fun!

And in case you didn't know, November is a big month in our whole family. Wesley's birthday is the 12th, Brad's is the 22nd, and mine is on the 24th. Not to mention our other siblings with birthdays this month. So it's pretty much a month full of celebrations. And today was Brad's day. Not that Brad is much for celebrating himself. I blame it on always sharing a birthday, as a twin, and now sharing with a wife only two days later. Anyway, I love him and although today was not a big party day... there was cake and a few presents (okay, my birthday was also on the cake...like I said he always shares his big day). So Happy Birthday Brad! The boys and I adore you!

Wesley's Birthday Party

Wesley's 3rd birthday is this Thursday (Nov.12), so today we had a party for him. All of his friends were there and you couldn't find a happier kid (up until the past-naptime-meltdown!). It was a pirate birthday with games, lunch, cupcakes, and pirate accessories galore. The kids seemed to have a great time, while us moms always enjoy eachothers company.

I'm not quite sure what was so funny, but most of lunch time was spent laughing instead of eating!

This game was like pin the tail on the donkey, but instead each kid tries to put their treasure chest on the 'x'. Wesley was right on!

Truly, we have the best friends! It's really a blessing to have friends that I love with kids that Wesley loves.

After all the activites Wesley opened his gifts and then couldn't wait to tear into the packages and get everything out. My mistake...this is the result... Wesley 'hiding' in a cubby with his new toys to protect them from the touch of any other kid. Hence, the beginning of the meltdown. I guess one kid can only handle so much fun. The party ended shortly after. :)

I must say the party was a success. Even Jack joined in the fun (he LOVES these balloons!). Thank you, thank you everyone for coming and making Wesley's day.

And just because I think they are too cute, I'm throwing in this picture from church yesterday. Seriously, cute.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year with trick or treat fun at Grandpa and Grandma Curtis' and back in our neighborhood. And with two kids that aren't especially big on candy yet, Brad and I really are rolling in the sweet stuff.

Even Grandpa was dressed in his Halloween best!

(Can you believe this is his pilot uniform that still fits after like 18 years?!)

Happy Halloween!
