Elyse turned 13 on Friday. For dinner she chose Bulgogi, Butterbeer, Root Beer, and Cheesecake w/strawberries. On a recent trip to Jelly Belly, she found Harry Potter style jelly beans. Here is the chocolate frog, flavored jelly beans (vomit, dirt, earthworm, black pepper, watermelon, cherry, blueberry, etc.).

| Grace not sure if she likes it... |
Dad had a brilliant of putting together two puzzles. The guys against the girls. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Although, the guys puzzle was VERY HARD to do.
 |
| The guys being good sports! |
 |
| Everyone giving it a go, including little ones... |
 |
| The birthday girl with Grace. Anxious for presents! |
 |
| Opening...(with Micah cheating - we called a truce on the puzzle making while presents were opened... |
 |
| Jaden getting involved. |
 |
| Yeah! Her boots! |
 |
| I think she likes them... |
 |
| The girls finished their puzzle in record time. |
 |
| Elyse showing off her work... |
 |
| Now the girls are helping the guys finish theirs. |
 |
| Butterbeer for Elyse's birthday! |

The first sip is amazing. After Luke's first ship he said, "Oh, I like it." Second sip, "I think I'm going to throw up."
Don't try this at home! |
 |
| Elyse didn't even like it and it was her "Harry Potter" choice. |
 |
| Ava - our gymnast. |
 |
| After the picture, she said, "Ouch!" |
 |
| Jaden loved playing game cube with Uncle Zachary... |
 |

Everyone votes to throw out the guys' puzzle. It is way too hard.

As the person who gave each group their puzzle, I humbly apologize to the Rumley males for giving them the puzzle with vast areas of blue sky and ocean devoid of distinguishing features. If we do this again, I will get us one that features Mickey Mouse.
The puzzle race was such a fun activity! This year was full of new traditions. I loved it!
Happy Birthday, Elyse! It was so fun to be there to celebrate with you!
Fun! I am sad to have missed Elyse's birthday along with the Thanksgiving festivities. Tell Elyse I love her shirt! (and new boots)
