This was birthday week at the Armstrong house! We celebrated Kevin’s birthday on Friday night with a small crowd of family and friends, and pizza and cupcakes. He opened some prezzies and Finn helped him blow out his birthday candles. Earlier in the afternoon we donned the party hat on Cameron to celebrate her 14th birthday. She got a vanilla cupcake :). Our old girl has good days and bad days. It’s really pretty hard to see her struggle so much to get up, to be so still, and to lay in the same corner of the room all the time. I can remember the days when she would barrel through the house and blast right into Hailey or Lily. Or how she had the crazy ability to catch any ball. She is still in good spirits, and honestly can drive a person nuts some days banging her tail to hard on the wood floor,
On Saturday morning, Kevin’s actual birthday, we headed to COSI for a showing of the Polar Express of the huge theater screen! Finn was able to meet the conductor on the way in, and we got hot cocoa and a cookie too. He did pretty well during the movie, but there were a few spots that were pretty dramatic and he was a bit scared. In the end he says he loved it, and we’re glad as we have a surprise in store for him for next weekend! After the movie he played at COSI for a bit, made some art, and then we headed home. Grandma and Grandpa Armstrong came up to watch Finn for the evening while Kevin and I headed out on date night to Bonefish Grill to celebrate his birthday. Afterward, we changed wardrobes and headed to a friends “Tackiest Christmas” Party, where we won the best couple award. We’ve got quite the string going….we’ve one a couples award at each of the three parties we’ve gone to in 2015! Lots to live up to next year I suppose.
This one is a bit fuzzy, but you get the full effect of our outfits, and our awards that we are holding – mini-champagnes clothed in ugly sweaters!
It’s been so warm this week we’ve been able to play outside too. Just crazy for December!
Finn wrote a letter to Santa this week too, with Debbie’s help! She, Sam, and Finn took the letters to Santa’s mailbox at the Powell Municipal Building. We’re hoping he may write back!
