Well, the weekend before Christmas was a real party weekend. On Friday the kids gave a surprise party for Garth for his 60th birthday at a local Italian restaurant. Fun was had by all, especially Oscar. He really loved the accordion player.

On Saturday Aubrey put on a party for Oscar's first birthday at her apartment. Both Oscar's Grandma and
great Grandpa came, as wellas a lot of other people who love him. Aubrey made an Oscar the Grouch cake. Oscar loved all the attention and presents, especially the boxes.

On Sunday we had a celebration for Jared at our house. We were celebrating his graduation for college with a BS in Chemistry and also his 26th birthday. He got lots of good gifts and Oscar also enjoyed playing with the boxes.
