Malea's Birthday Party

Malea and Colton came down from BYU-I for the annual

 Kenison Temple trip in honor of Grandma Anna's birthday.  

This year it was held on Oct. 25th. (Grandpa Kenison and Ammon's Birthday) 

They missed the session because of BYU football game traffic, but we in the 

Celestial Room as we entered and there for the dinner afterwards. 

Notice the evidence of the kitchen project in the following pictures.

Even though Malea's birthday had already passed, we 

celebrated it again.  Dad was in charge of lighting the candles.  

He's had lots of practice. (As well as some fire management training!)

Malea leading us in a stirring rendition of "Happy Birthday!"

Malea made a wish (which she kept a secret) and blew out the candles.  

We were afraid the smoke alarm would go off, but luckily it didn't.

This was the pumpkin crunch cake that Malea shared the recipe 

with us.  It was pretty yummy! (Especially with vanilla ice cream.)

It was a Sunday, so our activities were planned
accordingly.  Andrea and Malea made little bracelets for an
upcoming baby shower for one of Colton's relatives.

 

 They turned out very cute and Colton's cousin loved them.
