Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays!!!

Well, the end of the year is certainly a busy birthday time in the Powell family: Papa and Uncle B in September; Alex, Michelle and me in October; Stephanie in November and Robyn in December!! And throw all the holidays in and whew!!

I did manage to make it home for a very quick, action packed weekend at the end of October to visit with the family. After Alex and Nana picked me up from the airport on Friday (and after we went to lunch and then shopping!!):

We went to see Emily and her drill team perform on Friday night at the football game (Emily is the one on the right):

In this picture, Emily is in the middle row, the third one back. You Rocked!!

We saw Alex play a soccer game on Saturday (yeah goalie!!):

Alex showing off some nice dribbling skills (and nice pictures, Steph!):

We got to play with Stephanie's newest addition, Jack (isn't he just so cute!!):

And just some fun pictures of the kids at the soccer game:

We had a family dinner to celebrate the October Birthdays:

Alex being "surprised" at one of his presents :)

Always some good laughs around the table...

And then I jetted home on Sunday. Well, Robyn and Stephanie come out for a visit next week for Thanksgiving (gobble, gobble) and I can't wait to show them around town!! And so I can celebrate Steph's B-day (although belated, but we'll have a good time anyways! Nice job fasting by the way ~ that certainly is no easy task and sure takes lots of will power. Glad you had a good time with the family last weekend, too)

The weather so far has been fabulous, although we need to get some good snow in the mountains so I can go play!!
