Birthday Madness!

Well, we all survived the big birthday bash this weekend. At one point our guest list had ballooned to near 50 people, which was a bit concerning considering the size of our house and the potential forecast (rain/snow and 40 degrees = no patio use). But in the end about 30 folks stopped by and it was a wonderful time. Noah did fabulously with all the people and excitement. It was so cute when we all sang to him he just sat in his chair looking up and smiling, like "yeah, I'm the man, you all love me!" He was lucky to have all his grandparents there, all his Aunts and Uncles, and several of his "adopted" Aunts and Uncles. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful group of friends and family. He enjoyed his chocolate smashing cake, though I think he had a better time digging through it than eating it. And he got some wonderful gifts including lots of cute cute clothes for our growing boy, several noisy toys (think 2 different drum toys, a singing train, a talking cell phone, etc...), a great stool with his name in a puzzle on it, and the cadillac of wagons with 2 seats for him and his buddy Fred. All in all it was a great day! Thanks to everyone :)
