Saturday, October 31st was one of the busiest and most special days that our family has had in a long time. Most importantly, it was our girl's 13th birthday. She began celebrating her big day by having a friend over to spend the night the night before. The morning of our kids' birthdays, we always celebrate them in some way... cooking them a big breakfast, giving them gifts, going out for a special meal, etc. I guess when a kid turns 13, sleeping until the very last minute that they can becomes more important than those kinds of things, so on the morning of the 31st Allie and her friend slept until it was time to walk out the door to go to Jack's last flag-football game of the season. So, we postponed the "birthday fun" until after the football game. The second thing that made October 31st special is that most of my family came for the day, and it was the first time that any of them had seen Jack play football this season. Considering the fall that my dad had with his heart... it was really special to me that he got to see his grandson play ball this year! The special day continued (and really got going strong) after the game when we did a few special things for Allie's birthday then all of my family got together for Trick or Treating. Those posts to follow soon, but first things first... Jack's Last Football Game:
Other members of the "Cheering Section" were: Poppie, Gibbie, Uncle Beau, Sassy, Uncle Allan, Emmie, Baby Jacob, Allie, Katie, Cooper, & Mommy.
