#87 - Happy Birthday, Aunt Debbie and Surprise!

Saturday was Aunt Debbie's birthday - Happy Birthday AD! The whole family got together at Enza's for a birthday dinner, and since Lou had gone to the Gator game with Brian, Owen and I decided to drive down to Jacksonville to surprise Aunt Debbie and the rest of the family. We had so much fun seeing everyone - especially Rusty, Aunt Pat and Mimi. The drive was a piece of cake since we drove during Owen's naptime and bedtime, and it was exciting to surprise the family. Plus, we got to spend a few hours with Mom and Jen after the birthday celebration.
Kaylin and Owen sat at the head of the table. Aunt Debbie was all smiles with her grand niece and nephew! Can you believe she's 51 years young?














Paw Paw and Chris were there too, and Owen gave Paw Paw lots of laughs. Every time someone at the table would laugh, Owen would laugh out loud back at them. Cute!














Kaylin shared her baby doll's bottle with Owen. Of course, Owen started sucking on it. He rarely turns away an opportunity to eat or drink.... :)














After dinner, we stopped by my old church, where they had a little pumpkin patch. It was pretty cold, but the kids had fun running through the rows of pumpkins and seeing who could pick up the heaviest pumpkin.




























Aunt Jenifer and Cousin Kaylin. Kaylin looks so much like the way that Jenifer did when she was a little girl.


















Owen loves, loves to read. He will bring books to you for hours asking to be read to. Here's a quick video of Nana reading to Owen. If you listen carefully, you will hear Owen mimicking the Vampire's laugh at the end of the book. (Yes, this book is written for much older children, but Owen gets such a kick out of the flashing lights and noise it makes. When we read him the story, we skip over the words like "blood", "death", "fangs", etc....)
