Birthday Party #2!

The Saturday after the family party, we threw a bash for friends! Wes, Kasey, Zac, Gracie and Wyatt were our family representation and it was nice having them stay with us! Michelle came over early (Thank you, Michelle!) to help ice cupcakes and watch the kids while Jason and I decorated the pavilion. Wes grilled our cheezburgers and hotdogs and one by one all of our dearest friends showed up! Good babysitters were everywhere since the kids were all little. Sabrina, Neil, Tanner, Eric, Lynn, Gage, Lily, Karen, Mackenzy, Rachel, Jason, Noah, Eli, Wes, Kasey, Zac, Gracie, Wyatt, Michelle, Tony, Olivia, Tim, Kristie, Helena, Chris, Ethan, Helena, Jake, Kim, Rose, Andrew, and Kim! It was a good mix of folks we have been friends with for years, worked with for years, went to school together and some we are getting to know better all the time through day care. At the family party, the big joke was me forgetting the condiments. This party found me scatterbrained again! We were lighting the candle and just about to sing Happy Birthday to Wil and someone pointed out that I gave Wil the 1 candle, not the 2! We switched them quickly and let the boy dig into his dinosaur cupcakes! Elsie got into her own rosy red velvet cupcake! It was laid back and so much fun to catch up with all of our best friends as we celebrated the kids!
