This weekend was awesome!

Saturday we spent shopping for Ian's party which ended up costing us about $300 (for just the food!) and visiting family. In the afternoon Sean worked in the Man Cave while I studied, and then we watched a movie. Sean went to bed and I p stayed awake with Ian until around 11pm, which then ended up with Ian climbing in to bed with me when I went in. Ian spent the night grinding his teeth and throwing his limbs all over me, so I gave up and got up this morning at 4:30am.

Sean and I had coffee until a family friend came over to ride with Sean to the park. I did laundry until Ian woke up, then the two of us headed to the park to set up for his party.

What a blast! We had about 20 adults and 12 kids so there was quite a crowd. There was a lot of eating, a lot of laughter, and some wonderful memories made. The kids had a blast playing on the playground and in the sand, and I had fish-type crafts for them to make (Ian chose a fish theme. What a surprise). Ian got tons of gifts, and I was proud of him for remembering to say his Thank-you's to people!

Honestly, we've had the best luck every year (er, except for the year we had to cancel because he was sick). The weather is always beautiful and we always have a great time... I am so blessed that so many people care about my son! Every year I am awed by the number of people that come to celebrate the day with us, and I find myself getting choked up when I look around and see the outpouring to love. It's days like this that my heart feels completely full and happy.

I have pictures to upload when my PC stops being a butt-head. Probably tomorrow!
