Cousins' birthday celebration

Our annual cousins' birthday party was last weekend. We have lots of birthdays to celebrate - Avery and Morgan on Oct 5th, Beckett and Hunter on Oct 8th, Nolan on Oct 13th and Grayson on Nov 3rd. This year, the bigger kids went bowling and then we had pizza, cake and presents back at our house afterwards. There was also a little leaf pile jumping. :)

The girls got the leaves ready in the morning.

Avery already has a good "bowler lean"... never works though!

Morgan and Grayson always bowled together and this is how they would bowl EVERY SINGLE TIME. Take off running and slide into throwing the ball.

Back at our house, it was chaos (as usual)! The kids had a blast (as usual)!

We get 6 little cakes so everyone has a chance to blow out their own candle.

My dad made homemade ice cream that was  huge hit, especially with Calvin!

And here he is, ice cream extraordinaire!

Afterwards, the kids played with their new presents, which included some light up gloves.
