Eileen's Actual Birthday (The Celebration on Nov. 22)

On Eileen's actual birthday, we had another celebration.

This time, we celebrated her Mumsie's birthday!  Mumsie's birthday is actually Nov. 25, but we wanted to celebrate while Thomas was still home so she could have both of her sons present at her party.

Before the party, we took Chichi & Deda's Christmas card picture at the Sanders house.

The Christmas picture- all nine of us are smiling and nobody blinked!
I think Aunt Lisa had to take about 50 shots to get this one.

Then we took Mumsie & Daddy Dave's Christmas card picture.

Finally, it was party time!

Mumsie and Daddy Dave kicked off the party by bringing Eileen a birthday present- a rocking horse!  It's beautiful.  A little big for her now, but she likes to ride with "help" and will LOVE it as she gets older.

We ended the night with everyone watching Eileen dance around in her tutu and play with her new toys.
