Birthday month...

November is a busy, but fun month for us. Not only does it indicate that the holidays are upon us, with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner from each other, but there are lots of birthday celebrations in our family...So, let me just start this out by sending out birthday wishes, hugs and kisses!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to
Tio Walter, Cousin Jack, Tio Dave, Cousin Jim, daddy and of course we cannot forget our little princess who turns 3 at the end of the month!! (If I've left anyone out, I'm sorry....birthday wishes and kisses to you as well :) )

Last night we went out to eat with friends to celebrate Daddy's birthday. Dan didn't know it, but the staff from the restaurant came out and sang Feliz Cumpleanos to him, and made him wear a sombrero!! You probably guessed it, but we ate Mexican. We had lots of fun!! It's amazing how our group of friends has grown over the years. It was just our small group, except 2 couples who couldn't make it. When Dan and I started in a small group about 5 years ago, we were all either newly married or engaged and there were no kids. Over the years, that's changed. Some couples have moved away or left the group, and others have joined our "family" but now we all have kids. A few years ago it would have only been 8 adults out to dinner; last night the kids outnumbered us--we were 8 adults and 9 kids under the age of 5!!! Needless to say the kids have a blast when we get together. They enjoy playing together, and getting into trouble together!! :) So anyway, after dinner we all came back to the house for some cake, some adult time and more play time for the kiddos. Joshua went to bed on time, while Kateli enjoyed staying up late and playing with her friends. Here are some pics from last night.

Happy Birthday daddy!!
