3 Birthdays

We have a long string of birthdays starting in September through the end of October, first starting with Kourtney's, which you saw on a previous post, followed by mine, then Kris' and then Keegan's.


This year I turned 32...My birthday fell on the first day back to school so it was pretty crazy! That evening we went to the Korea House in East Lansing. It is my favorite place to eat! Then we went home and had cake and ice cream. Yum-Yum. Kris made my cake!






Kris' birthday was an eventful one. It first started out by the whole family attending a tail gating party on MSU campus. It was a bit chilly but fun all the same. After visiting with Kris' colleagues, we determined it would be easier to take a bus back home and then pick up Kris' truck later that day because the walk was so far! That afternoon Kris and I left the kids at home with a babysitter and he and I took a bus back to campus and watched MSU football take on U of M. Great game-great fun!


That afternoon we had cake and ice cream. I thought it fitting to keep with the MSU theme of the day and make him a State cake.








Keegan turned 2 years old on October 29th...and he couldn't wait to have his cake. Here's a picture of him getting caught sticking his fingers into it and then eating it. He didn't even try to hide the fact that he had been at the cake for a while, hence the green frosting and chocolate on his face!



Keegan's presents were pretty much all boy this year (we're trying to get him to play with things other than baby dolls and dress-up shoes)...although Ellary uses Keegan's basketball hoop more than he does. She has an awesome shot-great form!

Nana and Papa got him a basketball hoop, like the one he loved playing with in Grand Junction last summer.

Kris and I found a tool bench on Craigslist that he loves, and so did all the other kiddos. They spent most of the day playing with it.

Alyson made this bath time basket of toys for Keegan. She went to the dollar store and she found funnels and measuring cups and sponges that she cut into sea creature shapes. She even found a bath time puzzle there and then put it in this basket. It was very affordable for a child to buy and a hit with Keegan.


Our little guy is growing big...can't believe he is 2 years old already!
