Today was an
exciting day…Amelia’s birthday party! YAY.
The morning was
hectic, getting everything ready. Christian cleaned up the yard and garage, got
a quick haircut, picked up some ice, set up the tables and chairs and grilled
the brats. I cleaned the kitchen and dining room, set up the food table, made
some pasta salad, ran to Target to get the cupcakes, Party City for the
balloons, got the girls ready, and did a little decorating. My mom came over a
little early to help us set up and get ready, along with Christian’s friend
from work. We were actually ready for the party, when it started, for pretty
much the first time in history!
Just about
everybody showed up right on time, at 3:00. The kids had a blast playing in the
pool and bounce house. We also borrowed an inflatable water slide from a
friend, and that was a hit with some of them too. We had water balloons galore
and the most amazing weather ever. Hot enough for water fun, but not miserable.
We had dinner, cupcakes, cracked open the piñata, opened presents and had a
blast catching up with our family and friends. Everybody was so generous, and
it was just a perfect day.
Christian’s parents
and my dad and stepmom hung out for a while after the party to chat, clean up
and relax. As they left, we put the girls to bed. Christian and his friend from
work made their way over to the neighbor’s house to hang out for a while, and I
cuddled into bed for some much needed relaxation. Another great party down,
another spoiled little girl very happy. 2nd birthday, officially
over.
