Jorja's 17th Birthday

Today was a crazy long day. It was super fun though, especially for Jorja. We started the day with a pancake bar. Except Mike took Maysen to get snow tires on her car, which left me with *gasp* cooking! Were they the best cookies? No, but I think that is what I like about them. Anyway, this was my favorite picture from the night. She looks so happy!

 So gross!
 Blurry, but the best picture I got with her

So many people came it was crazy! People were here for several hours and Jorja loved every second.

Randomly Ben started acting like a missionary to Cam. It was awkward and hilarious at the same time.

Once everyone left it was time for the Halloween dance date. The day activity was painting pumpkins. Mike and Maysen had bought small fake pumpkins for them to paint. The boy painted one for the girl to keep and the girl painted one for the boy to keep. They seemed to have a great time with this.

The boys were dropped off while the girls got ready for the dance at our house. The boys dressed as cops and the girls dressed as robbers. They took their pictures at a local pumpkin patch. Shockingly Jorja was adorable.

Jorja had a lot of fun at the dance, despite being knocked over and stepped on. That seems to happen every dance. After the dance they went to Madison's house. Mike and I brought up Jorja's birthday cake for them. Mike was supposed to set up the Jackbox games, but they were kind of tired and sleepy. They never played that. Jorja had more energy than others somehow and had a mini 'fight night' with Ben. All in all, the Halloween dance seemed to be a success.
The other thing that happened today was Game 4 of the World Series. Too bad the Rats lost again, and it wasn't even close. This is the game Mike flew out from New Mexico for. Mike texted this picture and said, "View from John's seat" ... WHAT? John was at the game? Mike said it was a long story, but he ended up with an extra ticket and wasn't able to sell it for what it was worth. So, instead of selling it he called up John! John lives about two hours from the stadium. Wow. Imagine getting a call asking if you want to go to the World Series, and then these are your seats! Mike was about 19 rows behind him. Too bad the game wasn't more exciting!

 Mike took this picture from his seat. John is standing up in the red hoodie. Amazing!

Mike randomly met the biggest Astros fan. He bet millions for the Astros to win.
Another birthday in the books. Jorja wasn't super excited to have a dance on her birthday, but I think it turned out okay. She ended up having a lot of fun. She was just more stressed during the planning stage because since the dance was on her birthday she wanted everything to be perfect. She got home right around midnight. She was tired, but very happy.
