October 2017

October was a very busy month.  You and your brother left for Atlanta on Tuesday the 3rd to visit your grandmother and Les.  You returned on the 11th.  On the 12th Mr. Bob and I left for Seattle to celebrate his with his family.  We returned on the 16th.  Uncle Jeffrey arrived on the 18th and Marcus and Danielle arrived on the 19th.  On Saturday the 21st we celebrated Mr. Bob's 70th birthday at our house.

Mr. Bob and I opened some birthday gifts.

Then we had a putting contest.

I decided to put some money in #5 for anyone who got a hole in one.  Others added money on other holes.

Uncle Jeffrey won.

Eventually some were eliminated.  It came down to me and Uncle Jeffrey.  I won!!

Then we all went to dinner at The All American Grill at DC Ranch.

You stood up and sang happy birthday to Mr. Bob.  I was so proud of you!!

Back at the house Mr. Bob brought out a surprise cake for my birthday.

Then we had Mr. Bob's cake.

I bought a special candle from China.  When you light the center candle it turns into a sparkler.  The other candles rotate around the center one.

Some time during the day you told me you were going to go into wrestling instead of basketball. You seemed very excited about this choice.  You also mentioned that your father has set up a checking account for you with some restrictions.  I think that's a great idea!

The next day Mr. Bob, Uncle Jeffrey and I went to brunch.  I was wearing the scarf that Marcus and Danielle got me for my birthday.
