Birthday Buddies

We have several people in our families who have birthdays close to each other.  G'ma Dorothy and Kevin share a birthday week:  January 26 and Feb 1.  Here are the official party pics!

 Grandma got sweaters and chocolate and books and a grandchild "brag book" for her purse...

...Kevin may or may not have been the SECOND recipient of a classic gift given originally by Drew Lochhead.  Regifting ROCKS.  (Okay, he also got some Carhartts, a shirt, and other decent and appropriate gifts).

Other highlights of the evening:
-The cousins are old enough (and loud enough!) to play downstairs together!  Janie, Gracie, Anthony, and Josh were thrilled to watch Lion King together.  When we went downstairs, we found children crawling on the ground, pretending to be Simba, Nala, or hyenas.  Such fun times!
-Albertsons makes DELECTABLE cakes!  Who knew?
-I especially enjoyed the evening, knowing that this was a Sunday evening, and I didn't have to go to work the next day!  Yes, it's half way through the year and I've switched from M-W work days to Th-F!  M-W's at home are dreamy!
