Kathryn and Jocelyn turned 12 this year. We were at the store and looking at the different birthday decorations and I asked them what kind of birthday party they wanted. I don't know if it was just coincidence or not, but both said, at the same time, HALLOWEEN! This was very appropriate based on all the toys they wanted for their birthday, which were all Halloween related. So, we made a very Halloween-y birthday for year 12.

| Kathryn with her beloved Bango. It is a skeleton playing a banjo. The first time she spotted this toy in Walmart, she was crazy about it. We asked her to put it back on the shelf and she hesitated and put it back, then picked it up, put it back and then picked it up again. When she put it back on the shelf for good, she kissed him on the head! For days, she asked to go to Walmart and kept repeating BANGO! BANGO! We bought the last one in stock for her in secret for her birthday. The next trip to Walmart was plagued by supreme disappointment and intense searching though the Halloween decorations. She even found a video on YouTube of this new favorite and unattainable toy. Needless to say, she was very happy to see him among her birthday gifts! |
