Birthday parties!

To celebrate the boys' veryclose birthdays with their many friends, we decided to throw a Raymond-style-invite-the-world party!  Little did we predict that the whole world wouldn't be able to make our party, so Liam got an extra birthday party with our playgroup, as well.  Party after party after party at this place! It's a wonder anything gets done around here!  ;)
We were lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa with us to celebrate!  The fun began on a coolish Saturday, after a rainy morning, the precipitation ceased and the tents went up, the toys went out, the bounce house was inflated and we played with our friends! 
















On the Friday before Liam's birthday, we decided to host a "do-over" party since 5 out of 6 playgroup families weren't able to attend the previous festivities.  Our Sacksteder friends represented at both parties (hm, methinks Andy likes cake...), so, wootwoot to them!  We also got the male half of the Goldman family, but were happy to get the lovelier half at the do-over playgroup party.  ;)
Funtimes were had by all!












Thanks to everyone for celebrating with us! Your friendship means the world to Scott, Liam, Jude and me.
xoxo
Love,
Becky

Becky..
Those poor little kids..get them all fired up with a month of birthdays cakes and then starve them the rest of the year..!!
It is a long time til August 2011..
They will be freaking by then..
Better hope they have lots of little kid buddy's that invite them to some more birthdays..
But then there is a Thanksgiving cake..and an Halloween Cake..
and your birthday and Christmas..all cake-able..
Maybe they will survive..
I guess a birthday cake diet would not be too good for them anyway..
When I was little ,birthday cakes gave me heartburn..until I learned to take the candles off before I gobbled it up..!!
Nice blog update..
