Happy April Birthdays

We have a lot of birthdays in April, so we decided to celebrate them all at once before Priesthood session of conference. It just so happened that it was Dan's actual birthday and so he went first. He turned 32 - I can't believe I have a 32 year old child.
Next, was Logan since his was the previous day, we let him go next. He was really excited to open some more gifts and get the 7 dollars in his card.
Then came Janette. Her birthday is latter this week and she is turning 9. She is growing up to be such a beautiful young woman. It is going too fast. She was excited to get a journal and she even showed me what she wrote in it. She has really good handwriting.
Chloe was last, because she really didn't know what was going on anyway. She had fun ripping the paper and was kind of interested in the toy baby.
We got a pretty good group shot of the birthday kids.
After the party, the guys left for Priesthood and the kids and the girls hung out. Here's Lex and Haden acting like they love each other. They were having fun playing in one of our easy chairs so I had to get a picture.
Then I thought, I should get one of Connor and Jason. They are best buds too.
This is what all the boys do when they come to GrammaRita's - Do you get the feeling that we are raising a bunch of computer geeks? Just kidding. I am amazed at what they can do on the computer.So that was the birthdays in our neck of the woods. I know that several other family members have birthdays this month too, so Happy Birthday to you all too. Love ya

You got some good pictures! I love the picture of all the boys around the computer. That is so funny. And the one of Lex and Haden is so adorable.

Oddly in our family (the Randie Burrell's that is), I don't think we have a single April birthday. We do have a whole bunch at the end of July through Tanya in Mid August- 4 with our baby-to-be. Maybe some day we'll all live close enough to have a party like you! Looks like fun. :-)
