Gordon's & Allyn's Birthdays!

Allyn has the privilege to share her birthday with her Papa. They both celebrated their birthdays on Nov. 13th. Allyn turned 5 and Gordon turned 74! We had Papa and Nana over for dinner to commemorate the events.


We gave Gordon a magnetic parts bowl for when he is working in the garage.

We gave Allyn a magnetic Cinderella doll that she can change her clothes, shoes, etc. It reminded me of the paper dolls I used to play with only modernized!

Papa & Nana Carmichael gave her a pretty pink jumper and sweater.

Aunt Charity, Uncle Doug, Lil' Charity, Cole and Claydon sent Allyn's present with Papa and Nana. They gave her a pretty pink shirt and a cheerleader doll.

Papa & Nana also got her a lap desk. She has used it as a lap desk and a bed for her Cheerleader doll! Nice double-duty use!

Allyn received a fun game from our neighbors whom the girls call Papa Jerry and Nana Sherry.

Gordon & Allyn with their cake. Allyn wanted green frosting because Papa wouldn't want pink!

We all enjoyed the cake. We made it with spelt flour, organic sugar, and natural food coloring. It was yummy!

Allyn wore the shirt from her cousins under the jumper and put the sweater on top. It all went together so great!

Allyn had a wonderful birthday. I will post pictures from her princess birthday party with her friends later. She will celebrate with my parents and brother's family when we go to Muskegon for Thanksgiving. We will have lots to be thankful for as not only will we celebrate Thanksgiving, but my Mom's, my sister-in-law's and Allyn's birthdays!
