Har's birthday May 23rd

Happy Birthday Harlan














All eight of our kids were here to celebrate Harlan's birthday this weekend. Two of the sons-in-law, 6 of the grandkids, some other friends and family were here or stopped by. We were heathens and skipped church in order to have a birthday brunch. Brunch is one of Har's favorite meals. I got an idea of what he felt like eating and it was great. Kim made a couple of pans of sticky buns from a Norwegian family recipe. YUM!
We wanted the "Birthday Boy" to start the buffet line.
Some of his presents were uniquely wrapped. From a guy to a guy. Perfect!

Some of the kids went together and bought him a new table saw.
He is pretty happy with it.
The grandkids loved the box it came in. It was the biggest hit of the day. There were a few scuffles and a few bonks and bruises but all in all, they played in it for hours.

Playing is hard work!
I'm not sure where Genevieve was at this moment but the rest of this gang was having a blast. Rowan was having the most fun but when he had to head home and Danika had to nap, Wyatt and Bella continued playing.
Later Wyatt was alone in there with the top shut and we quizzed the "talking box". He is one smart cookie.
It felt almost like Christmas around here. Lots of food, presents and babies to rock and enjoy.
Hope Har enjoyed it half as much as I did.

Next update soon with more pictures of our kids and theirs.
