Baylor's 11th Birthdays

Baylor wanted a sleep over birthday this year so we planned it for November 2nd in hopes for good weather for the bounce house.  We decided to skip the Halloween party, which was a sad but good decision. But he still loves the bounce house so we had it for his birthday.  Which made him very happy.  



We invited Kartikey, Ryder, Landon and Zayden. Curtis and Carson were not able to join us so it was  a small group.  Halloween was postponed to the 2nd due to bad weather on the 31st. I thought going ToT would be a good way to break up the party. Unfortunately, it also broke up the friends because two of the did not come back afterwards.  But they had fun before we had to get ready. We had the Fortnight llama pinata, which I bought instead of stressing out making.  It did not last very long.  





We had a small cake, snacks and hot dogs for supper.  





But the best part was the bounce house.  They were on it the whole time.  


I was hanging out by the fire pit with other adults. It was our first fire and a rare time just sitting around talking to adults. With dogs wandering around and an adult beverage!! We burned the llama body


but the head was put on a pike to warn other llamas to stay away.  



Zayden left to get ready for Halloween and trick or treating with another friend.  Landon also left to get ready though we were going to his neighborhood to trick or treat. His mom was also going to be there and he wanted to spend some time with her before we went out.   The three remaining boys rakes leaves and had a good fall day in the leaves.  Tossing them 



And swinging into them. 


And hiding in them 





All dressed up and ready for candy.  Ryder was the T-Rex, cool but hard to walk in and see.  Landon was the Winter Soldier, Baylor was Agent 24 and Kartikey was a banana.  All good things. 


All the clothes were found at thrift stores, the gun was new and the briefcase was borrowed from Buddy.  A few older guys recognized who he was.  


After we were done trick or treating, I took the three boys back to our house.  They tried the bounce house but it was very cold so came inside and played Xbox and watched TV until they feel asleep.

Christmas in Just a Few Photos

It is the most wonderful time of year.  Especially when I get photos of my nephew dressed up for his first Christmas!  


He is so cute!! 


Since the time change and darkness falling so early, we don't make it to the dog park on many evenings but we try on the weekends.  It is usually a different mix of dogs there but Jake finds dogs to play with.  





And at home he finds pillow cases to destroy!! 


But I love him and we always kiss and make up!  




Santa was very good to the family this year, especially Baylor. 


And Jake! 


He got an X-Box and some games from Santa and us.  He was quite happy with those gifts! 



new black watch plaid slippers, his new favorite pattern,  


We had to watch Jake because of his proclivity to steal things but he did really well considering all the lovely chew-able items all over the place!  





It helped that he got his own toys as well.  We will see how long they will last!  


We hosted lunch and had everyone over.  It is good to have a full table.               



Family gift time after lunch.
