Big Birthday party

We celebrated all of our December and January birthdays.  There are 8 of them from Dec. 2 to Jan 22.  This is the first time in two years we have had the entire family together!   We had roast beef and mashed potatoes for dinner - everyones favoirite -- then went around and said good things about each of our birthday people.  Elsi, Andrew, Monson, Wayne, Alfie, Lady, Tru and Laila.  It's good for the birthday person to hear and it's good for all of us to be reminded on how important it is to speak well of each other and notice each other's gifts and talents.

Addison made the cake...we blew out candles and played a fun music game called Hitster... you run a QR code and songs play, then if you know the artist and the title, that's bonus points, but the real goal is to figure out the time period when the song came out.  You build a timeline with the songs you use. 

Wayne broke out his soft ice cream machine...in the cold of winter.  Everyone loved it!  All the ice cream you can eat...but you have to eat it in the garage or in the kitchen, because I don't want a MESS.  



The grands all sang Wayne the Beatles song--" When I'm 64!" IT was really cute then a big group hug!
