Christmas and Dad's birthday party

 We celebrated my Dad's 70th birthday the day after Christmas.  We decided to do a healthy theme because my Dad reads and tries to live a healthy lifestyle and because we want him to live for many more years.
We did various exercise contest and relays.  We had an applesauce eating contest, and instead of donuts hanging from a string to eat, you had to try to eat the carrot off the string the fastest.  Calvin is eating the rest of mine in the picture.  To my defense, I had the largest carrot of anyone, hence I did not win that contest.
We ended it with some yummy healthy dishes and couple of the cakes I make.  (They have no sugar, no added fat and no salt.  My mom calls them no good goodies.  But most everyone thought the cakes were at least okay and everyone thought they were great if they added enough frosting. :)
This was a perfect activity after all of the treats from Christmas.


 Alden loved having his cousins over!! He is always asking about them, especially these two in the picture that are his age.  They really have a fun time together.
