Birthday Celebration Weekend 2

This weekend was Kelsie's birthday celebration weekend #2 with Wayne's family. Normally, we have one celebration for family and one for friends but typically in the same weekend but this year ended up being a little different and will expand almost the whole month of October. I'm sure Kelsie doesn't mind getting gifts all month. So, this weekend was kicked off on Friday morning with Rucker Rocks at Kelsie's school. She was recognized on stage with the other birthday kids and they have to do a little dancing in front of everyone. Luckily, Kelsie had a friend from her class (Miranda) that went up with her and a little girl (Emma) in Kindergarten that she knows from church was up there, so she was a little more comfortable but I think still a little embarrassed.

Kelsie's class made a sign to show school spirit so they could win the gold rock for the week.

4th Grade won!!!

Kelsie and Kensey before it started. Kensey got Rucker Rocks for the week (an award that is given out to kids who do extraordinary things that week - see Kennedy Krew blog for details)

On Saturday, we had everyone out in the afternoon to celebrate (after the Texas/OU game). We always let Kelsie pick the menu so she wanted to cook outside hot dogs and roast s'mores. We purchased a small fire pit to have an open fire so we could cook out hot dogs and s'mores. It was nice weather outside so we all enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and the kids had a good time playing and exploring. We had a great time getting together for Kelsie's birthday!!

Kelsie got lots of webkins from her cousins.

Posing for a silly pic - they didn't want a sweet, smiling, serious picture.

An unconventional Birthday Cake - a s'more without the graham cracker...????

Made a wish!!! Happy 10th, my big girl.

Kelsie and Brittany both like their s'mores without graham cracker. A Gooey mess!

Hey - watch the hair!

As you can see, we had a fun weekend. Hope yours was good....more later.
