Happy Birthday Westin!!

Our friend Westin turned 7 years old on Friday, July 25th!

We were in Cedar Falls to help Grandma Julie & Papa Mark work on their house, so we got to help Westin celebrate. Since Rory's birthday is also coming up, we went to Chuck E Cheese in the afternoon with Westin, Alayna, their mom (& my best friend) Sara, & their Gramma Connie. Chris & Grandma Julie also joined us. I didn't take any pictures there (only because I was too busy "visiting" with Sara, Gramma Connie & Grandma Julie). Chris was pretty much in charge of the games and stuff. Here is the only evidence I have that we were, indeed, at Chuck E Cheese:




Rory & Soren used their tickets from the games they played (Westin & Alayna generously donated their own tickets, too) to choose various high-quality pieces of plastic from the Chuck E Cheese prize counter. They each chose one of these wonderful funny face masks. Just to be clear, the tongue in the picture is Rory's own tongue, it was not included with the mask!







Later that night, we went miniature golfing to celebrate Westin's birthday. There were 11 of us in all, so we split into two groups. Papa Mark even went - which is a birthday miracle in itself! The little girls had some interesting strategies to the ball in the hole! Westin was very patient with Soren's antics. Here they are posing together:








Afterward we went to Westin & Alayna's for cake and ice cream. Their mom, Sara, made an awesome iPod cake. (I have visions of what Rory's upcoming birthday cake is going to look like, but I'm not sure I'll do as well as Sara did on the iPod cake!)
