Birthday Party

4/25/2009

Today we celebrated Aidan's fifth birthday, though that date (estimated) is still three days away. The party was early-10:30 to 12:30-to accomodate all of the guests' naptimes. The kids played outside in our unseasonably beautiful weather, had lunch, played some more, opened presents, then had cake and ice cream. Since it was time for our social worker to make her six month visit, she came to the party as well. This gave her a chance to meet Aidan's friends, see him with his whole family (big brother and big sister and their families), and meet his daycare director (her daughter was a guest) as well as some of his playmates' parents.

After our nap, we did it all again. LB turns eighteen tomorrow, so the evening party was a cook-out but I cooked in. She doesn't like hot dogs or hamburgers so I roasted a pork loin and we had that with the usual salads, chips, watermelon, etc.

Some of the pictures are here, some are under LB's page (click on her name on the home page for that link), and some are under photos.

Here he is with his favorite playmates from daycare. One highlight of the day for me, though, was when it was time to eat lunch and he insisted that he sit beside RB to eat.

Below he is sitting on "the bike" that he wanted. He loves Diego, and wanted a bike, so fortunately they came together. Then he is blowing out the candles on the cake I made-notice the Spider Man theme to everything.
