What does a 13-year-old do to celebrate his birthday? Chuck E. Cheese, Pump It Up and Laserquest are all in our past (whew!), so instead, Kellen decided he wanted to have a few friends "hang out." When "few" turned out to be more than a dozen, we decided to let his friends get together at Aurora, the family pool business. We were thinking they could swim, play pool, foosball, air hockey, ping pong... Nope. Know what they did? 15 or so 12-15 year olds spent an entire afternoon playing hide-n-seek - and apparently having a blast.
Kellen and his friend (and twin) Alex.
Elliott made the rounds with Kellen's girl friends. That's girl [space] friends, people. Not girlfriends. Just making sure we're all clear... :) Here's a pic of her hanging with Christine.
Kellen with his cookie cake (post-swimming, which is unfortunately when I took most of the pictures. These kids all look like wet dogs. Ha!)
Autumn giving Kellen not one but TWO sets of bunny ears. Who put icing all over Kellen's face??
Cake time!
Abby has the exact same smile in both of these pics. Very nice, Abigail.
Madison and Elliott jamming to some Taylor Swift.
LOVE the blue icing coating on your braces, Jacob!!
Shea got to snuggle with Baby Cade for a bit.
Here's a pic of Kellen opening presents, which I mostly included only because Mikey said I couldn't get a picture of him, and I did. So there.
This is a great group of kids - er, young people - or whatever. We definitely missed a few folks who couldn't make it, but we had a lot of fun! Kellen is truly blessed with some fantastic friends.
