Birthdays Abound

We started the birthday/Halloween week of parties off early last weekend.  First up -- Dustin took Ellie to the temple to do baptisms for the dead.
 
Then on Sunday night, I had a friend make Dustin his very favorite peanut butter chocolate bars.
The kids dressed Dustin up in Birthday Boy swag -- he does not actually wear blue glasses.

Someone got a little birthday envy, so we let him blow out some candles.

On his actual birthday we showered him with love and affection, along with a new phone case. Luke insisted that we take him out exercise clothes shopping as well. He actually cried when we were giving out gifts because I hadn't taken him to buy Dad his exercise clothes. In the end, I think the kids ended up with more new stuff than he did.

We celebrated BOTH boys with a dinner out at Zinburger and pizzookies for dessert.

Nate's birthday was just two days later. Luckily the party was already over so it was pretty low key.
Bosa donuts are a must for all birthdays around here. Then we opened gifts which included Pokemon caards, and a Harry Potter wand and I let him buy a few new books at the book fair.

I picked up burgers and a shake for lunch up at school and then we celebrated that evening with pancakes, buttermilk syrup and a Ward party.
Nate's best friend, Travis, and family came along with us, and he even got to dunk his own father in the Dunk Tank.
Pretty much the best birthday treat ever!!
