January is the month of birthdays for our family. Heidi, Sawyer, Slade and then Avy. But this week we added a few more kids to the household AND another January birthday. Party on, dude!

DEC 6
And then I remembered one of my FAVORITE (relatively new) holiday traditions . . . Rosco de Reyes. I have Mauricio to thank for this infusion into our celebrations. And I love it!
Hot cocoa (stirred and whipped just so with a hint of mint).
Pastry with sugared candy (pretty, but I have yet to actually eat the candy).
And baby Jesus. And another baby Jesus. And another. And another.
But it only seems fair that everyone who wants a baby Jesus should get a baby Jesus.
TEEN in the house!
Sawyer did it. . . he's now officially 13. And that is LUCKY 13 in our minds. Lucky to have such a cool guy hanging around. Lucky to see his curly hair poking out from under his hat. Lucky to hear his logic and ideas. (That one is pretty entertaining too.) Lucky to have him any way you look at it.
His birthday (the 3rd we celebrated last week) was pretty low-key. He opted to temporarily postpone a friend-party for a few weeks for a friend to have some healing time. But when it came down to it, I think he wanted some hype on HIS day. So we threw together the best crowd we could--and I'd say it was mighty fine!

Birthday Bob
Kennah has mastered delayed gratification when it comes to her birthday parties. Mid-September is WAAAAAY too busy with soccer practices (or "trainings" as Slade calls them), Back-to-School diddies, and just adjusting to a structured life after a care-free summer. (Don't get me wrong, if she wanted the parties then, we would happily oblige. We are not cruel parents.)
But she loves the festivities that accompany October and happily obliges their many calls to her.
We were prepared for a rainy day, but it held off and we enjoyed the perfection of fall.
