We had a great week last week full of birthday fun and FOOD! Right now we have cupcakes, two cookie cakes and 1 1/2 birthday cakes and tons of candy all leftover from birthday parties. WOW! Needless to say it has been hard to keep the "watch what you eat" idea in check.
We had a family birthday celebration on Thursday night for both John and Andi. John is officially 16 and Andi is 14! They are really growing up in so many ways. Then, on Saturday John had a birthday get-together with several of his good friends. It was a lot of fun complete with good friends, Tennessee football, birthday slide show of all his 16 fun years, pinata smashing (poor little fish), and cupcake food and water fight. Thankfully, the last activity began and stayed outside! It was quite crazy! Sam was able to come over and hang out for a while too, so that was helpful and nice. John has a great group of friends and I think they all had fun together.
On Sunday night we had the youth group Sunday night devotional at our house and had more cake with our church family. We have a great youth group and youth group leader, so it was fun.
Both John and Andi had great birthdays and recieved lots of cards and gifts. They are both currently saving their birthday money (they both got a lot!). I want to thank all of our family and friends who remembered their birthdays and helped to make them so special. It means so much to me and Mike.
So, we have been busy! Landon and Addi just go with the flow and, as you see in the pictures, LOVE all the cookies and cake!
