(Nicholas beat Jeff in a rock throwing contest)
And, yes, we do have mountains
You can't see them in this picture, but we saw 2 bald eagles on our way back. They were flying at first, then were in this tree eating. We could see them real good through the binoculars. It was genious!
I was trying to get her reaction to her presents
She was very patient as Jeff and I tried to get it untangled. We were so worried we would have to cut her hair. Instead, we came up with the idea to cut the teeth off the brush instead (Jeff only got a chunk of her hair once). We did it.
So, it was a happy ending and she still loves all her birthday stuff.
We ate A LOT,
We opened our "crackers,"
They really were having more fun than they look, and we watched the ball drop.
Nicholas went to a Stake dance then to a friends for breakfast. Those were the days--Jeff and I feel so old having kids stay out until 2:30 am and we were ready for bed at 10 pm. Happy 1-1-11.
He loves teasing me that he is now a teenager. He wanted a three flavored neopolitan cake. It took a while to make, but here it is. It is really tall. (and he wanted me to add he is growing taller too, 5'1")
Her's kind of collapsed.
Kade's was all frosting.
This was one house on our drive to look at lights.
The big day!
