Happy Birthday's

The last week of January is a busy one for my family. We have 4 birthday, 3 in a row. I talked about it little last week when I blogged last. Busy busy, not to add in the others in January from friends, sister in law and my grandpa's.

Thursday was my husbands birthday. We didn't do too much since I was off to work (or so I thought) that when dad got home we surprised him with a "cake" and a big glass of milk, little happy birthday sign, and a homemade card from Carter with him writing Happy Birthday, I love you. Carter is getting so great at writing.

Friday was my dad's birthday. All day I ran errands trying to get all of Mason's birthday stuff. And my list of items was dad's gift too, but I couldn't find the right game. Thanks to my cousin in law Corrine, I got to get the grocery shopping by myself while Mason took his nap and Carter played wii with her son. That night, after I was off from work, I ran to JC Penny's and got my step mom's gift for my dad for her since she was up at work all day and got home just in time for dinner, picked up the DQ ice cream cake (the best!), went to four different stores to find the hunting game my dad wanted (Cabela's North American Adventures). For some reason every store had the Cabela's game but not the North America......if you know my dad you know he is into shooting. My first time shooting was when I was 5 years old.  But back to it. My cousin, my step brother and I surprised my dad around 9 with gifts and cake. Sadly my dad were not able to go because it was past their bed time and my hubs was working Saturday so off to bed they went.

Saturday, Mason's 1st birthday was great. Had a little party here at our house with family and some friends. Little crazy, first party we have had at our house. Glad I didn't invite more people. He had a wonderful time I think. Not much into the cake but loved the candies on it.

I messed up the faces but it was too late by the time I realized it. Oh well!

Today is the last birthday for a us until the end of March; which it kind of nice after all the back to back 4 in a week. Today's birthday is one in memory of my Grandma McAllister, or Grandma Mac as we called her. She passed away almost 14 years ago, when I was in 9th grade. She is missed everyday and thought of almost everyday. She was an amazing woman, the only person I know that could put a puzzle together upside down. One of my favorite memories of her and reason for my love of puzzles even though I don't have much time to them. She is one of the inspirational people in my crafts, (we did many together) as well as the little love I have for owls. A few decor I have, and the ring I wear that makes me think of her. There was a knitted owl that always hung on her wall, wisdom, Grandma was full of wisdom. Her crossword puzzles showed it.  

Happy Birthday Grandma, I love you, and Miss you.
