Party time!!!

Last weekend was very busy for us. Harris turned 2 on Friday the 13th, I had a baby shower on Saturday, and Harris' birthday party was on Sunday.

On Friday we let Harris open most of his presents from family and just had a little celebration at home. We cooked dinner and Clay picked up a little cake from delicious Beaverton Bakery. We had a great time. Harris sand "Happy Birthday" all day long and was thoroughly entertained by his new tool bench.

















My baby shower on Saturday was so much fun. My good friends Abby and Laura did such a great job planning. They are both so thoughtful and generous and made my day so special. Thanks ladies! We are decorating the nursery with sock monkeys so they ordered a cake to match a painting we are hanging up. Too cute! It was so much fun spending the afternoon with good friends and opening gifts for Elliott, Tucker, and Oliver. It is so much fun imagining our adorable baby boys wearing and using all their new goodies.












Sunday was party day for H-man. He has recently become infatuated with everything Thomas and "choo-choo," so it was a no brainer to have a Thomas themed party. He was so excited when he saw his Thomas cake. His mouth completely dropped open. Too cute! That was exactly the reaction Clay and I were hoping for. After eating a little cake, Harris began opening his birthday presents. The first gift he opened was several Thomas books. He was so excited he immediately began running in circles around the picnic table. In the meantime, one of his friends started opening his other presents for him. Too funny! Harris and 3 of his buddies then opened the rest of the presents together. It was really cute and is the only way all of the presents could have possibly been opened. Otherwise it would have taken hours because Harris opens one gift and the wants to immediately play with that one and has no interest in any others. The kids had a great time playing in the water and on the playground. It was a great day!
