Happy Birthday/Happy Hawk Fans Weekend!

Brody climbed in the laundry basket, head-first, so Jenna had to get in too.

We had a really nice weekend. Friday kicked-off the girls basketball season and West Marshall won both the JV and Varsity games. Aaron's parents, Frank and Linda, made the trip from Sioux City and caught the second half of the game.

Saturday Aaron had basketball practice, so we hung out at home. Grandma and Grandpa got some quality time in with their grandbabies. Saturday night we watched the Hawks whoop-up on the Gophers! That was unexpected, but very cool! I thought the game would be close, but I guess not. Needless to say, there were many happy Hawkeye fans at our house.

Sunday was Aaron's birthday. He is now 29 and holding! Jenna and I made a "party cake" (Jenna's words) for "Papa" in the morning. She did so good! I measured everything out and she dumped and stirred. For lunch we had a little KFC and then because it was so nice, Aaron decided to put up some Christmas lights. What a great day Sunday was - the weather was amazing for November 23! After Frank and Linda left Aaron said he wanted to take a nap, "because it was his birthday," so Jenna and papa had a nap. Brody and I went for a walk and when we got back the other two were up and Jenna was very upset she didn't get to go, so Brody and Mom went for another walk, this time up to the park so Jenna could play.
We ended the night by watching the movie "Evan Almighty," which Aaron and I laughed through and Jenna just liked the animals. Above are some pictures from the weekend.
