Last week we were able to go to Grand Rapids and celebrate the 6 Glupker October-ish birthdays (from Sept. 29th - Oct. 20th.). We headed down Tuesday morning, went to Babies R Us, finally ordered our crib to replace the one we have that has been recalled, and then Bart went to his class at GRTS. Following his class, we had dinner with his family. Everyone was there, except his brother and his family (Chadd, Sarah & Hayden). Chadd called right before dinner, with their good news that he and Sarah are having another boy. So we will have 6 boys and 2 girls in the Glupker family by next spring. We had a delicious supper, opened gifts, and had birthday cake.
This is just a picture of the cake I made for the Jr. Highers Wed. night and then another one for the Pastors & Wives meeting we had on Thursday morning. It is his family's favorite - Ho-ho cake. I made it in 2 9x9 square dishes, so I could use it for two different days and occasions. It worked out perfectly. 
The 6 honored birthday guests: Aunt Judy, Gramma Glupker, Bart, Hudson, Taylor and Dad.
The birthday cake.
Gathering in the basement to open gifts.
Gramma & Judy got Bart a picture frame (for Ethan & Littlefoot) for his office, some peanut M&M's and a case of his favorite pop, Barq's rootbeer. He also received money to put towards a new I-pod.
We all went in together and bought Dad a new table saw.
Uncle Lance painted Taylor's headboard/footboard. Are those Michigan colors? ;-) (No, they're "Hudsonville's" school colors. He's a Michigan State fan, as you can see.)
Hudson, opening up his gifts of toys and clothes.
Ethan was drawn to Uncle Lance's portable basketball hoop in the basement. He wanted someone to lift him up all night so he could shoot hoops. 
Ethan & Hudson, cousins, born just 6 months apart. 
Taylor, Emily, Hayley, Hudson & Ethan. At the end of a long day and a fun party, Ethan wasn't ready to sit for a picture with his cousins. He LOVED playing with them though!
Good-bye, Aunt Judy. We love you! See you all at Thanksgiving.
