Happy 11th Birthday, Clara!
Highlights from this year's birthday included Banana Cream Pie (a very large one), Goldfish from Grandma and Grandpa, and a desk and puppy decorations for her room.
Happy 5th Birthday, Benson!
Benson asked Grandma Blacker for a giant Twix for his birthday present, so she made him the biggest Twix and of us had ever seen! Fortunately for his sisters he's really good at sharing.
Birthday favorites this year included light-up swords, a bow and arrow set, and a spiderman mask and web shooter.
Great Wolf Lodge
Benson requested a family trip to Great Wolf Lodge for his birthday instead of a friend party. We went at the beginning of the month and celebrated both Clara and Benson's birthdays there with Grandma and Grandpa and cousins.
Happy Thanksgiving!
November Fun
I threw a baby shower for my friend Abi. It's been a while since I've been to one of those! I made my 1st balloon arch too!
We took the family to go see the Broadway Lion King Show in Denver with the Stettlers. The costumes were unreal.
Clara had "Explorer's Day" at school where she dressed up like an explorer during the 15th century and presented on one. She had her whole speech memorized and did a great job.
Clara also orchestrated a wedding between her goldfish.
We took the family to see "Wicked for Good" in theaters. Our girls are a big fan of the soundtrack.
We had a girls night out and saw our friend Autumn as Clara in the Nutcracker.
Dave was gifted a couple tickets to a Broncos game. It was quite the experience! That stadium is HUGE.
Clara got to cat-sit one of Cole's friend's cat, Teddy. It was a dream come true for her. I couldn't even go in the house without loosing it though - apparently I have become very allergic to cats.
I found an old school picture from when I was in elementary school - aren't I cute?
