October 31 is Halloween but more importantly it is David's birthday. (I believe this is a self taken picture of said boy.) David is now 15. We celebrated on the 30th so he could have a day to himself and not have to share with Darth Vader (Luke) and some other dude (Isaac). The year David was born it was cold and wet and rainy. We could see the trees blowing and the rain coming down from our window. He was 10 days overdue. My other two had both been 2 days early so we were expecting the same!! We have not made that mistake with David since!! We had to drive to Sunny side which on a good day without traffic took about 50 minutes. When we got there they kept telling us about the baby that had been born in the parking lot that morning. They did not want to keep us because they said the baby was too high and would not be born any time soon. But because we came from so far they let us stay and walk around and such. David was born about 4 hours later!! He was my no epideral (?) baby. When he was born he was a bit blue because the cord was wrapped several times around his neck. The doctor said it was the longest cord she had ever seen and it was a good thing or it would have choked him to death. The blue team came in to look him over and gave him an okay. Grandma Julie brought him a clown outfit and we took him home in it!! Now he is 15, a freshman in high school and taller than me. They grow up so fast.
We all gathered in the living room and David began to open presents from the birthday basket.
Here we all are waiting with baited breath for what the boxes would reveal!!
Ainslee not looking very excited!! But she had a fun evening playing with the boys.
David's friend James came home with him from school to celebrate with us. Here they are comparing wallets. Hannah gave David a new one so he could throw his old one, that he had duct taped together, away.
Here is David's prize. He kept telling me to tell people if they asked that he just wanted money so he could save up to buy an electric guitar. His dad found this one for a good price and could not resist. His farmor and uncle Jeff and aunt Carol pitched in. Now he spends lots of time in Hannah's room, which he has taken over until she gets home, playing the guitar.
All in all it was a good haul!!
Raelynn thought so too!!
David with his cake. It looks like it is on fire!! We had enchiladas for dinner because that is what David requested even though we just had them on Monday with the missionaries!!
Isaac and Luke all ready to trick or treat!! Isaac had quite the time deciding what to be on his last Halloween for trick or treating!! He settled for wearing really big clothes and a mustache!! Don't ask me!! I am just along for the ride!! Luke was trying to decide between Darth Vader and Clone Trooper. Darth won out because we could find his mask!!
After trunk or treating at the church we convinced the boys they would rather get some pizza and go home and watch a movie (The City of Ember) than go to some neighborhood for more candy.
Our two lone Jack-o-lanterns. Now Halloween is over and we are looking forward to Thanksgiving!! Millie

This really made me sad that I missed Halloween! wish I'd been there! How was the movie? loves!
How did all those gifts fit in that basket?
We had such a blast, thanks for the invite!! I love the pictures too, super fun!! Can't wait till we can all get together again!!
Actually the gifts would not fit in the basket so we put clues to each one in a box and wrapped it up!! Before we thought of that there was one little gift bag in there with the wallet from Hannah.
