October: Grammie Martin's Unbirthday Party

My parents came for a visit this month and we loved every minute of it. My mom decided to start a new tradition with her grandkids who live so far away. She is going to celebrate an unbirthday party with them annually. This way she gets to enjoy watching them open their gifts and have a special dinner.

Since it was October the kids made pizza's that looked like pumpkin faces...or not.

Grammie even brought her fancy punch dispenser so the kids could have fun with their punch!


Next each kid got to make their very own birthday cakes. Now, Grammie was a cake decorator in college and that craft has served her well through 7 weddings. Now it's time to give the kids some lessons.


They got pretty good at decorative borders.



Then they all sang happy birthday to one another.


No party is complete without cotton candy so then the kids each got to make their own cotton candy treat. Can you believe my mom brings all this stuff with her 800 miles from Utah?


Then it was birthday present time. The kids each got to go to Toys R Us and pick out a $15 item they desired. The boys were thrilled with their legos.

Everyone had such a wonderful time. This is going to be a fun annual tradition. Next year...a bounce house or giant sumo wrestling Grammie?
