Halo Party

Michael had his 12th birthday party on Friday. He and his friends went and played laser tag and then came home for Halo 3 video games, pizza, and lots of fun! We had two XBOX 360s going on two separate televisions so the boys could complete against each other in groups of 4. They had so much fun!

We bought this gun several months ago and thought it would be fun for the boys to take pictures with it since it looks a lot like the gun on the video game. Yes, it's real. No, it isn't loaded!!!!!!

Michael and his friends

Instead of a cake, Michael asks me to make him a giant cookie every year since my cookies are his favorite. This year I tried something different and made a giant ice cream cookie sandwich. It was a hit!

Happy Birthday to you....

Make a wish and blow!

We got Michael a set of laser tag guns for his present. He loved it!!

Of course his favorite gifts are those of the paper variety with big numbers on it!

As for the girls, this is what they were doing....

Abby, like her daddy is a computer geek!

Then the girls decided to turn our dining room table into a catwalk and walked up and down it for the camera! It was so cute!

Louisa grabbed a hold of this balloon and did not let go of it for THREE days! Seriously! She even slept with it! She loves balloons.
