My sweet husband arrived at the ripe old age of 54 on November 9th. But seriously, look at him - hardly a gray hair on his head. We had a simple celebration by going to dinner at Epic (love that place) then we came home; ate a couple of German Chocolate cupcakes and then he opened a few gifts. Probably not the most exciting birthday ever but I loved spending this time with the best thing that ever happened to me. Awwww!

Birthday Wishes
All treats and no tricks October 31, 2010! That's because sweet Jeanette celebrated her 75th birthday with friends and family. Jeff and Celeste hosted a wonderful party. Steve drove and we flew - and many others came to express their love and appreciation for this grand lady. The guys golfed on Friday and we went to the Southern Kitchen in Tacoma for lunch - that's another Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives pin in the map! The fried chicken was great - the chicken sandwich (basically, a regular piece of fried chicken - bones and all) between two slices of white bread... not so much. Overall, it was great food and an even better memory.
Saturday night, we spent a lot of time reminiscing and enjoying yum-yum finger foods. We topped that off with a killer carrot cake and the best pumpkin cheesecake in the world. Mom had a great time visiting with everyone and opening gifts. We stayed through Monday and then headed home. Happy Birthday Mom - so glad we could spend a few days with you!

Bowman Monster Mash
Last night, Michael and I hosted our annual family Spooktacular Supper. The menu consisted of: Batwing Bites (olive tapenade on crackers), Scarecrow Stuffing (cheese puffs - pretzels - corn chips), Swamp Grass (salad), Frankie's Favorite Biscuits, Mummy's Eyes (cake pops), Witch Hazel Brew with Goblin Parts (soup and garnishes) and Bone Chillah (grapefruit soda with white grape juice concentrate) to drink. There was plenty of food but little space at the table. We need to find a better way to fit all these bodies at dinner. The costumes were so creative, like Justus in his Lego Man outfit or Andrea and Jayson as Truckers. Michael was Hawaiian Guy and I was a Spanish Flamenco Dancer. I know, I know. It's hard to believe that I wasn't a witch again this year.
After dinner, we celebrated my birthday with a delicious, beautiful Tres Leche cake that Brandon, Nancy and Javier brought me. Yum! Guilty. I had a bite. After some cake, the kids (and Michael) watched Disney's Ichabod Crane and The Headless Horseman while we set up the cupcake decorating station. I was too busy to take more photos but the one we have are... priceless.

Birthday Witches for Makayla
Last Saturday Andrea, Angie, Carly and I hosted a Which Witch is Witch Birthday Party for Makayla's tenth birthday. The costumes were so adorable but nothing could beat out Angie's witch cackle in authenticity. After admiring everyone's witch-y get-up, we decorated sugar cookies, had a witch hunt and played a trick or treat game. What a memorable afternoon - even the only boy at the party (Carter) had fun. Happy Birthday darling Makayla - We love you!
