Christmas in October

Yesterday evening Nana & Grandpa came in town for Grandpa to do some work and enjoy visiting with Madison & Zach. Tonight we celebrated Cecil's 58th Birthday with some gumbo and cake (and Blue Bell Ice cream--they don't get that in Denver) In honor of his birthday the kids (and us) opened one of our Christmas presents from Nana & Grandpa. I think Nana was so excited about the presents and wanted to be here to see the kids reactions. Bobby got a a fire pit for the backyard, I got Wii Fit, Madison got a Nintendo DS, and Zach got a slide. The kids were super excited about their new gifts-Zach played until he wore himself out, Madison would have stayed up all night playing her games, but she has school tomorrow. Thank you so much Nana & Grandpa!!! And Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

Grandpa's Birthday cake--I loved this!! Everyone got a piece of cake that they like-including Grandpa and his German Chocolate Cake
