Busy, Busy, Busy (Continued)

Sunday was even more action packed. We hugged Aunt Emily good-bye, and then, headed out the door a superbly elaborate 1-year old birthday party. If not for the Disney-themed decor, you might have thought you were at a wedding! Christopher is one lucky boy.

There was a huge Lebanese buffet prepared entirely by the guest of honor's Lebanese grandma. Plus, there was a 2nd buffet specifically for the kids with more traditional party fare. BUT, the edible offering didn't end there! Nope, there was a cake table, a chocolate fountain, AND a coffee bar that was practically a Starbucks. When you add all that to: the theme decor, 2 magician clowns, a pinata, what seemed like hundreds of balloons, endless amounts of candy and party favors, and dozens of children hopped-up on the endless candy, you've got the makings of one CRAZY birthday party! I can't wait to see what they do when he turns 2 or 16!

After that insanity (I mean that in the best possible way.), we met up with Jay, Lisa, and the kids for pizza. Needless to say, we pretty much blew the diet on Sunday. Oh well! You've got to live a little sometimes. Jax was super excited to see Hayden. It's been a while since they've had a chance to play together. Lisa and I have been selfishly planning playdates for Hudson and Baylor while Jax and Hayden are in school. Sometimes it's just easier for mommies to play when there are less children to supervise, and occasionally, mommies deserve a playdate too!

Speaking of playdates, Baylor had another one today. He's got quite the busy schedule these days. His social calendar fills up faster than mine, it seems! Anyway...Today, Baylor met up with 1-year old Ethan, and they had the best time playing together. Not only are they close in age, they are almost the same size, and they have a similar laid back personalities. I think they're a good match. That's a huge plus for the 2 mommies that use them as an excuse to hang out.
