Birthday Fun

November is a busy month for us at the Watkins household! There are 2 birthdays, our wedding anniversary, and of course, Thanksgiving.

Savannah had a boy/girl birthday celebration this year. We headed out...somewhere, um south-west of us, where Nutty Putty cave used to be, and played capture the flag. My mom watched the 3 youngest boys at her house and then John and I each drove a vehicle and hauled Savannah, several friends, and Mark and Wynter out to the boonies. We all had a lot of fun. I didn't get any pictures out there, but here are some afterwards at our house.








Savannah is excited to be able to attend church dances now. She is a wonderful daughter. She is turning into such a lovely young woman. And she is hilarious!!

For Micah's 6th birthday, we went out to dinner as a family and celebrated at home. I can't believe Micah is 6 already! Time has gone by so quickly. He is loving kindergarten. Being in afternoon K is difficult because that 4 hour wait from when his siblings leave for school is tortuous for him. Plus he has to put up with Lincoln, who enjoys teasing Micah to no end.









The balloons that I bought from Macey's lasted for a couple of weeks. Lincoln claimed them as his. He would say, "Bagoon, bagoon!" We had a lot of fun celebrating with and without the "bagoons"!







On our wedding anniversary, we didn't celebrate because it was a Thursday and John had to work. But that weekend we went and saw Harry Potter 7, Part 1. It was really good. I love that John and I have read all the books and watch the movies together. But, anything I do with John is fun. I am so glad that we found each other and I look forward to many more years with him.

Thanksgiving was yummy. John did most of the cooking and I am very thankful for that! Having a long weekend with my family is so much fun and I'm looking forward to Christmas break!
