David's Birthday

After the huge birthday extravaganza we had for Elisabeth back in August, I really struggled with what to do for David's birthday. On the one hand, he was expecting something pretty amazing, but on the other, well, I don't believe in huge EXPENSIVE parties. Plus, David doesn't really know anyone from his kindergarten class and we couldn't afford to invite his whole class. So in the end we decided to have three parties. Over Thanksgiving we had what we called the Uncle Party. It was really just the normal Thanksgiving Family Dinner and we had some cake aftewards and Dave and Rob gave David presents. And played with him. He loved it.

Then on his actual birthday, we started off the day with pancakes. Davey's were human shaped. He LOVED that!

Then, in the evening we had home made pizza at Grandma's house. And gave David our presents. We got him this talking Transformers card. I think it was a big hit.

Grandma and Grandpa Menary sent a sweater and some great books for David.

And then when Uncle Dave and Alexis got home from work, we had Treatza Pizza (at Uncle Dave's request!)


Yum!

Then on the weekend we had Natasha, Riley, Mayah and of course Jade and Ashlie come over for some Star Wars games. And the Abelmans slept over. I'm not sure who had more fun...the kids or we adults! We stayed up late playing Dutch Blitz and continued on again first thing in the morning!!
