HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY JJ

JJ turned 6 on the 20th of December. Wow--has it really been six years?? His birthday was on a Sunday so we decided to celebrate it on Saturday. The last day of school before the holidays was on the 18th, so his class celebrated his birthday that day--he took some Jolly Rancher Candy Canes to share with his class.

In our family, we have birthday parties, when we are 5,8,12,16,and 18. So we spent Saturday as a family. JJ decided that he wanted to go bowling, so JJ got what he wanted. We had a fun time and Justin and John got their game on and ended up tieing each other in the 2nd round. JJ had a blast and that is what counts.

Check out all of our EXCELLENT bowling forms...

That night we went to Mark Anthony's for dinner (thanks to coupons) and JJ chose pizza for his birthday dinner.
Everyone enjoying dinner...



On Sunday morning JJ woke up to the Traditional "dozen donuts" for breakfast. Had to think ahead and go and get them late Saturday night.

JJ then got to open his presents. He is way into Transformers and Super Heros. So he got the Bumblebee helmet and blaster and a Superhero Vidoe game.

Of course we had cake and ice cream. JJ picked the confetti cake with the rainbow chip icing--YUMMY.

Thanksgiving with the Rogers

We had a great time going down to Cedar City to spend Thanksgiving with Al,Norine,Bryce,Landon, and Taryn. John took Bryce, Justin, and Landon golfing (of course) Thanksgiving morning. I, on the other hand, stayed back and stressed and worked on a talk that I was asked to give in Church. I wasn't much help to Aunt Norine but she pulled off another great dinner. Trevor has dubbed her,"The Best Cook Ever."
