This year's October Birthdays Celebration fell on Shelby's 8th birthday. We had a lot of food and a lot of fun. We will showcase presents later, but this lovely outfit was a gift from Nene and Papa in Tulsa. She was fabulous in purple!
The kids were really hoping to smash the pinata themselves, so they wouldn't even let the men hit it. Lame! We let them finish it off after Jeka and I got it started.
Of course, they underestimated my he-woman strength, b/c I busted that thing right open.
We are using all of that candy for our trick-or-treaters in a few weeks. shhhh!
After it was demolished, we all took turns wearing it as a hat. Isn't that what everyone does with a smashed up pinata?
Poor little Lucy was sick all day and is still sick. She has a high fever and according to the doctor, a virus. She was miserable on Saturday and she is usually the life of the party. She sure did enjoy seeing her aunt and uncle though, and snuggling with Noni.
Preslie didn't seem to notice that we didn't celebrate her birthday. She just enjoyed the festivities.
For Shelby's birthday breakfast everyone joined us at IHOP. She was so surprised. When she saw uncle Matt she was so ecstatic that she ran and jumped into his arms.
I am so grateful that Matt and Jeka & Matt Price love the kids so much and enjoy just hanging out with them. They are their little shadows whenever they are around. Since Jeka got Baxter the dog, the kids are even more excited (if that's possible)for her to come into town.
More pics to come...
