We had three birthdays to celebrate. Junior, Marquese and Zy'Aire. They are cousins that have birthdays four days apart. They are all two years apart in age. This year they were featured in the "Community Business Magazine" for the October/November issue which is owned by my God Brother Jerome.

We began our day at IHOP restaurant with a family of twelve to get our day started. We ate and sang "Happy Birthday" topped by a complimentary ice cream treat from IHOP. The next stop was "Seven Mile Fair." All of the birthday celebrants had an opportunity to chose several gifts from their grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, and friends.

Our next event was a hot dog social at "Uncle Craigs House." Here we opened and exchanged gifts, had hot dogs, chips and, beverages. Onward to the "Haunted House" at Milwaukee Public Library. To our disappointment, when we arrived they were filled to capacity and so we missed out on that, but we ended up at "China Lights" at Botanical Gardens. Beautiful and Exciting. At the conclusion of the night we went to Red Lobster for late dinner and raced to get home to bed after a great day of celebration.
