November Birthday Highlights

November is a BIG month for Birthdays

in these parts and we celebrated

some of the BEST of the BEST.

November 9th is Miss Poppy Louise Jackson's

special day...she turned a big 3 years old.

We enjoyed dinner with Grandma Alice and

Grandpa Steve at Benihana's that night.

The next day, Minie was kind enough to give

her little sister a haircut....free of charge.

Brooke may have cried a little but the Hello

Kitty Party she threw went forward as if nothing

had ever happened. (Way to roll with the punches!!)

The face painter was outstanding and

all the kids enjoyed their design of choice.

Of course, the birthday girl was "Hello Kitty".

Brookie-D always does it up right!!

Such a cute, cute party....

November 6th was my amazing Mom's special day.

She's 85 years young and her day wasn't all that

grand. She had a fall that required the EMT's

to come and help her up and she really wasn't feeling

well. But she was a good sport and

put up with our celebrating her.

Here's the party throwers minus Kennan who came

as soon as she got off work.

And here's the staff that celebrated with her too.

It was a nice little gathering, but sadly she had ANOTHER

fall the next day and it took several days for her to recover.

November 5th was Tucker's big day as he turned 12

and received the Aaronic Priesthood. This is one

wonderful boy and we were lucky enough to make

a VERY quick trip to St. George to see him play

football where he caught a touchdown pass and

then be present for his ordination on Sunday.

Great boy....always makes us proud!!

And November 4th was Jude's 6th birthday....

and as you can see, the Pirate theme carried right on

from Halloween into his birthday party!

The party goers decorated "booty bags" to hold

all their pirate prizes and walked the plank several times.

Ya-ya provided lots of pirate decorations from

school and even dressed up to read the group

a pirate story. (She's the best!)

Kennan did an outstanding job of

putting on this bash for a very large

group of pirates!!

Pretty amazing month to have brought forth ALL these

very special people. How very blessed I was to be

able to celebrate with them all!!
