Sounds like fun! We celebrated Gage's birthday on Saturday. We went to Barnyard Boo at Thanksgiving Point. What a great place. There were animals, little games, a hay ride and pony rides. It was a hit. It wasn't too crowded, and the weather was perfect. The kids did really great. I think that they had a good time. When we can spend 2 hours or more somewhere with the kids without someone having a terrible melt-down, we have done well. (Mind you that sometimes the melt down is my own.) When we got back in the van, Gage was asleep in 5 minutes easy.

After we got home, Steve was elbow-deep in chili- making. He made some chilli a few weeks ago, and it was so delicious. He made it again- 2 big pots. We also had grilled cheese with Grandma Sycamore bread. Also hot dogs and mac and cheese, some grapes and throw in some Fritos- it was the party meal! I made the cake. Jenna helped with the fence. The kids and I cleaned while Trevor napped before our guests arrived.

| With Pa and Regina's card we were able to get bibs, sippy cups, a Raffi CD, 2 pair of shoes, the barn toy that was obviously a hit, and all the decorations. Thanks Dad and Regina. |

| With Ma's card, we were able to get Gage his forward facing car seat, now he is traveling safely in style! Thank you! |

Jeff came down earlier in the afternoon, and Liss and her crew joined us at about 5pm. The chilli was very good and a real pleaser. (24 hours later, we may have 3 servings left is all!) The kids all played very nice. Noteworthy was that Gage didn't have any melt downs the entire night. He was just happy-go-lucky. I think he had fun!
Thank you to all that wanted to be here and sent presents and cards. Thank you to Lissa and Christian and their family that I know loves us. Also, thanks to Jeff for the pillow pet and for your company.
