On November 14th, we had a combination birthday party for Dad (Nov 20), Dan (Nov 15) and Fiona (Nov 12). They are all so close together, we just celebrate at the same time. Mom made jalapeno popper dip and a Reese's peanut butter cup cheesecake for the party. We were all so stuffed from the jalapeno appetizer, we could barely eat dinner! I think next time we'll just eat the dip. :) We had beef stroganoff, salad and homemade bread for dinner. Then for my favorite part, the dessert. By the time we were done with everything, we had all gained about 10lbs! :) Jalapeno Popper Dip!
Persimmon cake that Becky brought over.

Dad turned 46, Dan turned 65 and Fiona turned 5. Get it?
Yummm!
Becky made Fiona a new scarf.
She also made me a hat and "texting gloves"! :)
Dan, Dad and Uncle Paul with their pipes and cigars!
The day before her real birthday, Fiona had a friend party at our house for her 5th birthday. She invited a few of her favorite girlfriends for cake, snacks etc. We didn't even plan games, because we knew that they would just want to play...and that's all they did. They weren't even really interested in the food! Painting nails for Fiona's birthday.

Fiona wanted to go swimming in Boiling River for her birthday...on a very COLD day. On the way there, it wasn't so bad because we were bundled up and warm in our snow suits, but on the way back it was so COLD!! Getting out of the warm water and trying to get dressed was hard on the toes and fingers, let alone your whole body.
All warm and cozy in our gear....
The frozen birthday girl!

After we got out, I quickly snapped this picture before my fingers froze off. This is where we soaked in the river. You can see all the steam.
