We had a party for Isaac on his actual birthday, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We've gotten fairly creative with birthdays over the years. One year we did a treasure hunt which the kids loved, and ever since then it doesn't seem a birthday party without one. Each year we have to try to out-do ourselves!
We also did a photo game this year for the second time. We came up with 10 different situations that the kids have to do, which then have to be photographed. Thank goodness for digital cameras! We used to do this type of game in our youth group when I was young, except then it was called a Polaroid Relay, and we competed in teams.
This year's highlights:

Monday our family went out for dinner to Steak 'N Shake on Aaron's birthday (his restaurant choice, because he loves their mini hamburgers and "the best strawberry shakes"!)
He had a small treasure hunt around the house to get his present; his first own Wii game!

| can you tell that he was a little happy?! |
And then tomorrow is Aaron's party at Chuck E Cheese, with just 2 best friends. This will be his first "real" party, not shared with Isaac, so he's super excited! And then birthday week will officially be over and we can start to concentrate on Christmas!

COOL!!! Finally got to see Isaac on the wall! He looks like he is enjoying it! You do have such creative ideas. Your kids are really blessed.
Love, Mom
This is awesome! The duct-tape picture is the best! Although the trunk picture is really funny too! :) Hooray for birthdays!!
