Birthdays, Birthdays, and more Birthdays

Even though I have been terrible at taking pictures to document it, I want to make it known that we are thick in the middle of the birthday season in our household. I have already posted about Alyssa and Ashley's birthdays. We celebrated Danny's birthday a couple of weeks ago. On the evening of Danny's actual birthday, Gawbie and Grandpa Wheeler kept the girls for us so we could attend an adult only Hawaiian Luau put on by our ward. It was fun to go on a date and meet a few new people from the ward. Since Danny's birthday is only two days before his sister, Shannon's, birthday, we celebrated the two birthdays together. Since we get so sick of cake about this time of year, Danny's mom was nice enough to make Danny some homemade oatmeal cream pies instead. They were delicious.
This past weekend, we flew down to Arizona for Great Grandma Ginos's 80th birthday celebration. We were so glad that we were able to go. Danny got to see a lot of cousins, some of them he hasn't seen in 10 years. I got to meet a lot of cousins that I have heard about, but had never seen before. While we were in Arizona, we stayed at my brother, David's, house. Alyssa and Ashley had so much fun playing with their cousins, Danielle and Kristen. They also loved playing with the new puppies. It was a fun weekend and nice to enjoy family and a little bit of warm sunshine in the middle of winter.
