Our 3-way birthday party usually takes
place the night before Thanksgiving. That
gives our grandsons some time to enjoy their gifts while we’re in town
visiting. The presents and cards for
everyone were on the fireplace hearth...
Here’s Nana, (Laurie), with one of her
presents…and David III. You might notice
that David III likes the camera! He’s
always posing…a politician in the making…
Here’s Nana with both of our grandsons…Emmett
Lee and David III. Nana is wearing a
necklace that the boys gave her for her birthday. Emmett freely admits that he’s not so
comfortable in front of the camera…saying that he really doesn’t know what to
do or how to pose.
By the way, if you or someone you know is
a ‘gamer’, (into video/electronic games), you might want to check out one of
Emmett’s blog sites. His ‘on-line name’
is Milo and you can get his game input and opinion at http://simplemilo.blogspot.com.
Yes…Emmett is excited! One of his presents from us for his 9th
birthday was this 40-disc rapid fire Nerf gun.
Between the two boys, they have just about every Nerf weapon ever
made. Even I get into the act…with David
II and I against Emmett and David III. We really make quite a mess...darts and other ammo scattered all over the house!
One of David III’s presents for his 12th
birthday was this updated pogo stick.
This is the second pogo stick he’s owned…
Shopping for the boys is easy, almost too
easy. They simply go on Amazon and add
things that they want to their ‘wish list’.
These lists have run from a single page up to 5 or 6 pages of goodies…
Most of their requests these days are for movies or electronic games…and we
gave them each a couple of those too.
Despite their love for electronic media,
both boys are trim and slim. This is
thanks to year around soccer, flag football, track, basketball and swimming.
This is the birthday cake that Amy and
David II provided for the big three-way birthday party…lots of chocolate
icing!
David III doesn’t look as ‘windy’ as Nana
and Emmett Lee, does he? He was a little
bummed out by the fact that although his dad had the correct numbers in candle
form for Nana’s and Emmett’s birthday, he had to wing it with David’s candles…as
he didn’t have a candle shaped like a 2.
Instead, there were two “1”s and a single standard type of birthday
candle, so 11 + 1 equaled 12!
…and so began our Thanksgiving weekend
with our family in the Cleveland area! More to follow...
Just click on any photo to enlarge it…
Thanks for stopping by for the party!
Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
