Special Notes, double thanks to Jana and Shannon for all the food prep and gift making that went on..the days and weeks before. It takes a little plannig and co-ordinating to have ice cream here, nevermind cheesecake and treasure hunts.
Dad's Favorite Memory: moments after Jana unveils the special driftwood play cabin table with Barbie accessories...the trucks attacked. Within seconds Barbies playfort was over run with loaders and airplanes and every thing else with wheels. Barbie can just suck it up..she is gonna have to accept the fact that cars and trucks need a place too.
Mom's Favorite Memory: staying up till midnight the day before making enough pizza pops for everybody. and the chocolate milk..yes I forgot about the chocolate milk..it was my favorite memory. Plus just being a mom....and watching your child being selfless and excitedly sharing the day with everyone. He is already asking who's birthday is next? Watch out Ava.
Liam's Favorite Memory: ice cream and as much as I could eat....plus the airplane uncle Matt got him
Sydney's Favorite Memory: sitting at the big kids table without my stinking high chair..plus dropping ice cream down my shirt and smearing it all over Mrs Vanderheide
Sounds like a great Birthday Liam, Sorry I missed it!!! Looks like you had lots of fun still. Say hi to Opa and Oma for me.

My favorite memory was the GINORMOUS smile on Liams face while bowing out his birthday candles! Another fun birthday.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great day Liam...too bad we missed the party. I'm glad that you have some good 'girl friends' there to play with.

Barbie is tougher than you think, Jon. Just wait until Sydney gets a little older and Barbie will have her revenge...
