Jace's Birthday

Jace's birthday was a 5 day ordeal.  Monday was his friend party and Tuesday his actual birthday was a quiet evening at home with just us.  Here are a few pictures from his party.
He loved his football and Vikings blanket to match his jersey

Chocolate cake it was for him!

A gratitude journal from Papa and Grams (with a couple of hidden treasures)

A nice jacket with playing cards from The Best Grandparents 


Then some money from friends and Sweigart grandparents he is still not sure what to buy.  He also got a new basketball goal for the back yard.

Then the party continued as he chose to go the the sand dunes as part of his birthday....

The kids spent most of there time in the sand digging holes, playing football, wrestling, or flying kites.

Calissa and I spent a lot of time together we aren't as fond of the sand as everyone else.

Calissa with her helmet ready to ride.

Calissa fell in love with the quad, this was her first trip out and just got better and better.  She would find Jeff and would tell him she wanted to ride.  She is so little and it was so cute to watch ride and we were so impressed at how well she did.  She will more than likely be the rider of the bunch.

It was a nice relaxing weekend but when we left this is how it looked.  Wind was blowing at 35mph the sand coming in sideways.  There is sand everywhere in the trailer and will take months I am sure till we get majority of the sand out of all the nooks and crannies.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACE!  WE LOVE YOU LOTS!! Thanks for a great week!
