Belated Birthday Dinner

On 15 November, we finally found time to get together to have a birthday dinner for Leighton (me). It was some tasty bbq pork ribs and other stuff. Laura and Ruben joined us and it was a delicious dinner.





In addition to the usual pineapple upside-down cake and gram's lemon cheesecake we had a traditional birthday cake.





I think Audrey liked it.


Jackson also showed off the gingerbread house he helped make.


And the best present was time with Jackson and Audrey.


Thanks for the great birthday dinner. :)

42 Days 'Till Christmas (I think)

Christmas is a little over 40 days away. Should we start gathering gift lists to post on the family page? I've added a few new items to my Amazon Wish List which is always available. We can add a simple HTML page here like we've done in the past. Just thought I'd make this friendly reminder. :)
