Birthday Party #1 - Heathens #1 & #2 (and a niece)

Party #1 for the current birthday season was yesterday at the llocal firehall. We decided 3 years ago that it was too much of a pain in the rear to try and schedule 2 separate birthday parties for family between 2 of my Heathens and my oldest niece. It has been SO much easier the past three years to just have one big party. And no one has to clean their house.

This year, Heathen #1 turned 11. He is currently enthralled with these things called "Bakugan."

We spent three days looking for the birthday accessories for these particular toys. Apparently they are fairly popular since they were so difficult to find. I think his favorite present this year HAS to be the drum set that his father and I got him. He is currently up in his bedroom happily pounding away. I plan on investing in ear plugs soon.

Heathen #2 turned 7. He's all about Mickey Mouse this year.

Heathen #2's favorite present was a toss-up between the box of magic tricks and the radio. We've listened to Alvin & the Chipmunks constantly since he brought the radio into the house. But we've also seen alot of rabbits coming out of the black hat as well!

And my niece chose "something cute" as she put it. She's so much more sophisticated than my Heathens!
