Its been a whirl-wind of a Monday, so don't have a ton of time to write a long explanation of Connor's bday party yesterday. In a nutshell~ Nana did all the running/gathering things for the party that morning. Nana and Papa went to park early to reserve pavilion, but they were both already taken. Nana and Papa came up with a plan B of setting up tables/chairs in nice area of park instead. Papa sat and guarded tables for a few hours before party. Nana did more running. Mom was busy trying to keep Connor on his nap schedule, so he'd be well rested for the festivities. Windy day! Balloons were a nightmare to untangle. Guests arrived. Food was yummy! Connor was good. He DEVOURED his cake. Lots of wonderful gifts from loved ones. Was great celebrating with everyone. Big thanks to all that helped and attended. Not sure how I would have done it alone! Enjoy the pics!
Connor starting the party with a light lunch/snack.
Thank goodness the rain held off. Turned out to be a beautiful day.
Connor's 'smash cake'...excuse the lid in the photo. It was windy & I was rather afraid of smudging it when taking the lid off. It turned out great--we were very pleased!
The 'big people' cake
Auntie Nicole and the youngest guest of the party--Jake & Megan Meyer's little Brody!
No party is complete without swings!
Connor and his buddy, Aidan, swinging together.
Connor was not pleased that everyone around him had yummy food on their plates. I swear my child could eat FOREVER and not be full. He begs for food worse than the dog!
Mom & her little b'day monkey
Big smiles for Connor's favorite, Pip!
Don't be fooled by his face- he liked his gift! :)
Mommy was super excited about Connor's new vacuum. We can be cleaning buddies!
"Hey everybody. Look at me!"
Connor quickly grew tired of having to stay still for an extended period of time for gifts, so Great Aunt Holly and Papa took him for a stroll.
After gifts, Connor was ready to be re-fueled with his cake!
His face reads: GIVE IT TO ME!!!
Slowly checking it out...
Then quickly diving in...
Mmmmm
The poor cake never saw it coming!
He is DEFINITELY my child!
Mid cake chug.
And back for more...
Mom had to take the cake away or Connor would have easily eaten the entire thing!
Trying to get a picture with the 'big people' cake. Connor thought it was round 2 for him!
"Presents....check....cake....check....ok, we can go now!"
