Our original plan was to have a FODANNA Hoedown Cowboy/Cowgirl Birthday party to celebrate Fonso, Dan & Anna’s Birthday. Unfortunately due to a family emergency the party got canceled so plans were changed.
Friday night after picking up Alyssa, we went to Breck & Carrie Ivy’s for dinner and pumpkin carving. Chad & Katie also came over with their kids. We had a great dinner and Breck made brownies for Dan’s Birthday. The pumpkins turned out great…
Katie Corsack, Alyssa and I got the pleasure of gutting the pumpkins while the men did the carving. Alyssa drew a picture of what she wanted her pumpkin to look like and then Dan helped her carve it.
It was a little challenging trying to get a good picture of them, but you get the idea…
Saturday morning we woke up, I made a big breakfast for the 3 of us and then we played Mickey Mouse Monopoly ALL MORNING LONG!! (and still haven’t finished the game). We took Alyssa to her dad’s so they could carve pumpkins and then Alyssa went to her friends Halloween Party later that night. Dan and I met a bunch of friends at the Yardarm for dinner and drinks. I love Dan's smile in this picture!!
Around 8:30pm we headed downtown Seattle to go to a comedy show at the Comedy Underground. We met Anna, Charlie and their friends in Seattle (it was also Anna’s Birthday). The show was great… the poor woman performer was not funny at all. It was awkward and embarrassing for everyone. Luckily, the main act did make up for it. After the show, a lot of people ended up going home while we decided to continue the fun. Dan, Nick, Julie, Andrew, Karri and I went to a dive bar in Des Moines. Then we went back to Nick’s place for a while.
Sunday morning Dan went to the track with Aaron while I got stuff done around the house. Then I met up with Nicole for Sushi and did some grocery shopping. I made a nice big thanksgiving style dinner for Dan. Then Alyssa and I started making him a Homemade German Chocolate Cake. Alyssa surprised Dan with a card and she's very excited to finish decorating his cake. We will finish the celebration tonight with cake and ice-cream and hopefully get somewhere on our Monopoly game. Dan said he’s never had a birthday weekend before… When he woke up this morning and I wished him a Happy Birthday, he said it doesn’t even feel like his birthday today.

Thank you to everyone who was able to be part of his birthday. I know it means a lot to him, We hope you had as much fun as we did!!
