Birthday Boys

Deon has Birthday the day after Chistmas-He got a crossfit jump rope from us{the kids and me}

 Seven days later...Andon Celebrates too! A pizza, cookie dough ice cream cake, sleepover party.

 The start of a laugh-a-thon, he had tears rolling down all because Devin did something funny{it was a sound of some sort}

 He choose a few of his closest firends; Cannon(known since birth) and Austin(since ~2  years old)

 Video game party, playing, and tent sleeping

Cailyn (Cannon's sister) stayed over also.  The girls made a show for Deon and I(it was more like a work-out ciricut) in the workout room! They played American Girls and Monster Highs and in the morning, we went to King Soopers and they helped me shop again. Last time we went they were "mini moms" with AG dolls in the mini shopping carts and they decided they were going with me again.

We spent the day at home playing with the kids, I played Monster high with K, Cut the Rope with Andon and relaxed.  Deon played NFL rush zone with Devin. *I am SO glad my kids were excited about getting board games and playing with them 1st* because... later the kids played x-box and Kendall played in her room. I went on a run and you will NEVER guess who I saw.... Santa!!! That's right, I really saw him..a man with a white beard, and loner white hair walking to a friends house.  We had a short conversation about the road I was running/jogging on{it is closed off but cars were driving through it anyways}. He gave me a fist bump and disappeared..TRUE STORY...And YES I BELIEVE in the spirt of Christmas!!
