Birthday Party Plus Graphic Animal Hunting

 

You have been forewarned. There are lots of fun photos of a 7th birthday party. They are also posted with Donder biting the dust. Turn back now if you can’t handle it.

So you know I was abandoned on the cleaning. OMG how does a table get like this?

I got up early and cleaned. And cleaned. And we got this.

034

Really? Ran the dishwasher four times today. Ug!

029

We got to this…and the rest was taken care of, too.

035

This is almost 9am. Pitch black dark!

030

It won’t stay neat for long.

033

I had myself and 21 other people descend upon my home. And we all survived.

My brother is retired FAA who is now a truck driver. Surprise visit as he dropped a load here last night (he’s a long haul trucker from California). He and Steve used to work together and this was an unexpected visit.

Yes, Alaskans wear shorts in the middle of winter. Outside. Lots of us do. We are weird like that.

The Mom’s got hard core competitive.

Yes, we really do have eight kids. And eight stockings.

Happy Birthday to my Princess. Man, her brother loves her.

We taught the girls the importance of saving tissue paper.

Remember Cody getting the snow machine to go hunting? Well, he brought home a caribou!  Not really a reindeer, but easily confused.

081

It was gutting and cleaned at my front door. Now that is Alaskan for you. (Or hella redneck).  (I have blood tracks in my house. Carpet has to be cleaned).

083

My niece, my brother and myself (with all my  fat!).

084

Justise, Tisha, Mike and Jadyn.

This is the little ones now. And I’m off to bed, too.

Looked like a wonderful party and so much fun! I've never seen a real caribou. Are you getting any of the meat since it was cleaned at your house? That is so something we would do in KY. LOL. I want to see how you make something with it.

Olivia looks so happy, especially in the last pic. Glad she had a fun birthday. Thanks for the inspiration as I have to clean my house today.

Happy birthday to your little sweetheart. Looks like a good time was had by all at the birthday bash.
