Manuel Turns 33, a Preschool Party and Halloween!

Cambrey and Paisley's clogging group


Our busy month of October is finally over. Party after party after party and we never got tired. As you can see we really got our use out of the holiday festivities. So much happened in the last few days. Manuel turned 33, we found out the gender of our baby and we celebrated Halloween.

Manuel always tells us that the way he was raised as a child - you didn't celebrate adult's birthdays. So, he always feels like his birthday shouldn't be a big deal. Every year I remind him that we are celebrating him being alive another year - we are celebrating his life! Life is meant to be celebrated and any reason to have a party is a good enough reason for me. Needless to say, the kids and I made his birthday a big deal.

We love parties, celebrating and having fun. We are definitely not a boring family. After 13 years of marriage Manuel is finally getting used to it.

Cambrey and Paisley got these cute Halloween pudding cups at their clogging party
Manuel woke up to this birthday present - His favorite candy bar, his favorite olives, hard German rolls (that he loves), his favorite flavor of yogurt, sparkling blueberry juice, one of his preferred cereals, and a bag of novelty birthday mints for boys.

The kids made him some special gifts and wrapped them.



They surprised even me, with a cute hand print piece of art they all made together
Then it was off to preschool for Cambrey. She had a Halloween party. Here she is bowling with ghosts.

This is part of her preschool class. Yes, that is her Tiana dress she is wearing under her Snow White shirt, right out of the dirty laundry. She couldn't find her yellow skirt.

Another birthday surprise for Manuel! This was right after my doctor appointment.

Celebrating Manuel's birthday at Frightmares! We got half off tickets from our neighbor who works there.

My cousin Dreyson who lives in Ephraim, spotted us when we got off the ride he came over to say hi.

What is Manuel pointing at?
