Logan turned six this year. It seemed as though his birthday lasted for a week. It started a week earlier at Grandma Shar's house and just kept on going. "Steve", Castle, Logan and I had a small family get together on Friday. Saturday was the kids celebration at Jungle Jim's. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Logan ran, jumped and played until his face was purple.

This should have been a themed birthday, Logan's Star Wars collection exploded. He has some very generous friends.

On Sunday we had Papa, Pepi, Alex, Jack, Uncle Billy, Aunt Amber, Aunt Suzie, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jake over for dinner and brownies, cuz as you know Logan does not eat cake. Logan thought it would be fun to act like a waiter. He spent 30 minutes deciding what outfit to wear for the evening. He had a very particular look he was going for. After careful deliberation he dressed in mostly black with a tie. He very carefully wrote three menus for the evening, listing the food and beverage choices for everyone. What a thoughtful host.

All in all I think Logan had a memorable birthday weekend. He is very lucky to have such wonderful people who love him. Thank you all.

Grandma Shar's Birthday

Grandma and Logan have birthdays that are very close. We took a trip to visit Grandma and deliver her gifts. Grandma opened a lovely ornament of a dainty woman, Logan opened Jabba the Hutt. Such an ugly slug of a creature.

Logan and Grandma playing with their new toys.

A Birthday hot chocolate for Logan.

Yes, that is whipped cream in his hair!

After Grandma's house we went to Great Grandma, Shirley's house. We ate home made tacos and terrorized the rest of the family. Grandma had a great chocolate cake with green coconut as grass and a pink pig. Logan also had his own cake as well as gifts to open. Wow, what a spoiled kid, he made out like a bandit on Grandma's Birthday.

Grandma wanted to have a family picture for her Christmas card. We took at least 20 shots and each one was funnier than the next. Either Castle wasn't looking, Logan was playing with the dog, Grandma was fighting to keep the dog sitting and facing the right way.

Castle and Grandpa didn't have any gifts to open but they enjoyed themselves anyway.

Yes I Am Cool

My people will call your people, just go wait by the phone......

Ahh Santa!!

Santa Clause is coming to Midway. The boys Papa, Pepe, Aunt Dodo, Uncle Neil, Aunt Carol and Uncle Don decided to have a Christmas party for the grandkids and see if Santa would come. Well I guess Santa hadn't had time to check his list twice and he stopped by for a visit. He brought an Elf to help him and a gift for each child.

When it was Logan's turn to talk to the jolly old man, he had the biggest grin on his face. He couldn't get rid of it. Santa asked him if he had been a good boy and he didn't know how to answer. He paused, and paused some more, finally Santa let him off the hook and got to business. Logan told him he wants the Pit Beast with Luke and a Bone from Christmas.

Castle really wanted to sit on Santa's lap, but when he got there he didn't look soo sure. Santa tried to get him to tell him what he wanted for Christmas, and Castle just gave him an unsure look and didn't respond. At least he didn't scream and kick like he did last year. Poor Santa.

There were plenty of activities and treats to keep the kids busy for a while. They participated in ring toss, minature basketball, BINGO and decorating Gingerbread houses.

Their favorite activity, I have to admit was running through the snow. Poor Castle was in to his knees. But it didn't phase him a bit. He just kept on trudging.
