DJ and Jon had birthdays!

We celebrated DJ's bday 3 times: with Arika and Jaak's little boy, John (who turned 3 the day after DJ turned 4), with Dad in Texas and with Jonathan in Duchesne.
We ate dinner in the tower restaurant in San Antonio.

We only celebrated Jon's birthday once, but it was fun. Jon decided to invite Cami and Briaunna very shortly before the party started. They were both able to come which made the day for him.

Lil talked Grandma into making Jonathan an eagle cake. He thought it was very nice. Of course, he didn't give Grandma quite the credit she deserved. When he was telling Meg about it, she mentioned how cool the cakes are that Grandma makes. Jon said, "Oh, yeah. But she got it out of a recipe book."

I talked Grandma into making a horse cake for DJ. Had those horses not had heads, tails or legs, they would have been quite simple...

We played pin the ears on the rabbit. Roy and Jonathan were the best. We forgot to get pictures of Jon, Cami and Briaunna. Oops.
DJ loves Lightening McQueen and legos, so this was a hit.

Jon got a DS lite. He is happy.

The party guests. The great thing about having lots of kids is that you have a very large party without inviting too many other people.

SO true! And between my two sisters, there are 6 more kids. So that's pretty much our party for every birthday.

So, while looking at DJ's cake, Cora first snorted, then said, "Pig" quite excitedly, followed shortly by saying, "Horsey". I don't know if she saw a pig and a horse or just couldn't decided. I could not tell what she was calling the eagle.
