Party Party

We celebrated Kei's birthday on Tuesday. It was a last minute decision because he had basketball practice Wednesday night and we wouldn't have time to trick-or-treat, have the b-day and make it to practice. Kei goes on a scavenger hunt for his presents and this year Ky made up an edited version to make it easier on us. All it did was make it much more difficult for Kei so I think next year we will go back to the old routine.
Ky is giving Kei his first clue to the first present.



Grandma J is notorious for sending Kei his present in an old checkbook box. I love it. I'm not sure if Kei should eat the "loose" candy in the box but we let him anyway. There is typically some loose change floating around in there too. I think the best part is that this is one of Kei's favorite gifts every year!

We gave Kei an ipod for his birthday. All he really wanted was a new xbox game. We should have bought the game. It would have been cheaper and I wouldn't have to listen to Kei singing in the bathroom, in his room, in the car and anywhere he can carry his music....EVERYWHERE.

He was so excited to share his tunes.

Ky showed him how to get to the games, videos and all the other fun things.

Kei hates cake so we typically just have ice cream instead of a birthday cake. I picked up these pumpkin donuts (Kei usually likes pumpkin bread) in place of the cake, to only realize I had no candles. Sad. I lit a match and had him blow it out while Ky and I-off key- sang happy birthday to him. Do you remember the book "You Know Your Ghetto If...", well I believe you might find this version of b-day candles somewhere in that book.

Wednesday night Kei went trick-or-treating with Dulcey's kids. They all looked so great in their costumes. My BFF was Snow White. Isn't she just adorable? She has a personality like my niece Avery. A complete fireball.

A couple of the kids checking out Kei's costume.

Kei was miserable with the wind blowing his wig in his face. I told him he now knows what it feels like to be a girl. He said it was just another reason why he would never want to be a girl.
