Daddy's Birthday Week

2013-11-26

This week was Daddy's birthday. Not much else exciting happened. Mommy made Daddy red velvet cupcakes and oatmeal creme pie cookies. I missed out on the game night party because I was sleeping, but here are some pictures of what I missed.

Fire! Fire! Daddy is really old - look at all those candles!

Mommy and Daddy went to the movies on Saturday, so I spent the afternoon with Grandma Gail, Great-grandpa Les, and Great-grandma Muriel. I was very well-behaved until Mommy and Daddy arrived to pick me up. Then I was naughty - hee hee.

GG is sad because I knocked her tower down.

Mommy and Daddy dropped me off at Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al's for the evening and they went out for supper and another movie. I was good for Grandma and Grandpa and even went to bed on time without a fuss. Daddy says Grandma and Grandpa can do it all the time, if that's the way it's going to be.

Just me.

Sunday morning I rode with Grandpa Al in the truck. I fell asleep on the way back to town with Daddy, and woke up at Great-Grandma Dorothy's - and Uncle David was there. I was crabby, so Daddy and I didn't visit for very long.

We picked up Mommy and Grandma Wynne and went out to dinner for Daddy's birthday. Everyone but me got pie (but that's okay, I wouldn't eat any of what was offered to me anyway).

After eating we went up to see Auntie Kara, Uncle Josh, Little Miss Freya, and the puppies. We brought along my old playpen so Graham can use it when he is visiting this coming week. I played with the puppies and tried to play with Freya, but she just wants to eat and sleep.

We went to the LEGO store after our visit, and Mommy and Daddy bought me some more tracks for my DUPLO train. We stopped to eat before we left and then I threw up on Daddy. Second weekend in a row! And I am sure you are all grateful there are no pictures of that. Daddy had to wash his shirt in a restroom to get all the puke off. I felt better afterward, but Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma Wynne were wondering all the way home if I would throw up again.

We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's for another night and went straight to school in the morning.

And that was my week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Don't eat too much - and try not to get trampled on Black Friday!
