HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDKIDS!

Jim and I went to California from Aug. 26th to the 29th. We gave our grandkids a birthday party all on 1 day to celebrate their 6 birthdays. In August, Addy turned 14, Alex 12 and Payton 4. In Sep., Dylan will be 2 and Oct. Owen turns 2. Sophia will be 10 in Jan. So we decided to party hardy on just 1 weekend. Here's our cute little gang below.
Before the Saturday party day, we did some other activities. We took the kids to the park. The park is right across the street from Crystal's house. Loaded up and ready to go.
Monkey man Owen.
Pay and Papa

Played in Kelly and Chris' backyard. They gave this swingset to Dylan for his birthday a little early.
He loves it.

Kelly gave us a tour of her work. She actually works at 2 different buildings, but we got to see her at this one and meet her co-workers.
Jim and Kelly outside her work.

The next day, Jim went a ride along with Chris.
On the day of the party, Addy, Sophia and Payton decorated Kelly's house with streamers.
And converted Dylan's old birthday sign to include all the grandkids names and ages.

We played "minute to win it" games. This one is called "Defying Gravity"
Breakfast Scramble.
Noodling Around.

Blow it.

We had a BBQ and of course --- cake. The grandkids love this Oreo Ice Cream cake. We put 44 candles on it, which was the total of their ages.
We opened presents.
And ended with fireworks.
It was a fun weekend and we loved spending time and partying with the kids and grandkids.
Thanks for having us!!

I'm going to call you and Jimmy C. the "party grandparents!" Your grandkids must love it whenever you are around! Plus your photos are all such good quality. When is your next trip south?
