Birthdays

Since Mom & Aunt Kay both have birthdays in April we had a small birthday party for them this weekend. Gretchen, Shane, Kimi, and I made dinner and birthday cakes for them. We all had a good time! Riley & Kayden called and sang Happy Birthday to Aunt Kay before they got on the bus thursday. Also later on in the day Alyssa & Gavin called to wish her happy birthday too!

Building Gingerbread Houses

Paul's family earned points for endurance, since their gingerbread house required rebuilding following a complete collapse at one point. Although it does not show up in the picture here, they even had Ohio spelled out in red M&Ms on the roof. The Wilkes earned points for enthusiasm. Theirs may have been the tastiest...since it was half eaten by the end of the day. It probably did help that they had 5 kids on their team. The Hendrick's gingerbread house got points for teamwork and style. The Hanover house, well, it was big and had a chimney.
