Aunt Kiley and Uncle Eric won the Belated Birthday Gift of the Year Award! Thanks a lot guys...this makes the Kitchen Aid hand mixer we got Viv for Christmas last year look like childs play! Joke might be on y'all though. She's never going to remind you of her birth date again!!  Homemade tortillas were first up...she really is my little mini-me! And yes! They were as good as they look!! 

I think this was the first normal, real holiday since Covid and we were ready for it!! Viv and one of her friends have been planning their costumes for, literally, months and they totally nailed it. Henry came home for a quick visit with some friends and Maxwell ran his tail off in PA. All around...it was a great weekend for the Hansons!  Maxwell and the Warriors had a great showing at the MAC Championships on Saturday and next up are NCAA Mideast Regionals on 13 Nov.
