Happy Birthday JDG

  

Sunday morning started out quite nicely.  Nicholas rolled into our room about 6 AM and didn't make too much noise.  John rolled in about 6:45 and was in quite a nice mood.  He was rather pleasant.  Nicholas walked over to John and gave him birthday hug and kiss.  It was quite touching.  John asked for his special birthday breakfast, ice cream.  He was quite kind and decided to share his special breakfast with Nicholas.  So, they both benefited from the special day.

Since his party was later in the day, John was quite anxious to head over to Grammy's house for some fun.  It was several hours away and we still had to go pick up a couple of things.  On our drive over to Hansen's, we drove by Tom Bergin's which was closing that day.  John was sad that he'd never get to go, but he got over it pretty quickly because we'd be at Hansen's very soon.  When Maureen walked out with his cake, he was quite pleased.  He had blue letters, white frosting, and balloons.

As we headed over to Grammy's to drop off the cake, we decided it might be best if we dropped the boys off and continued our errands.  They were more than happy to stay at Grammy's and play "Town" with all the Fisher Price Little People sets from the seventies that Grammy still has.  John is quite meticulous in his "Town" planning and makes elaborate little cities.  We picked up the rest of the supplies and we were ready to GO!!!

The kids at John's party had fun in the bounce house.  For the most part, they stayed in the bounce house unless there was something going on like cake or the pinata.  There was one casualty in the bounce house.  One of the guests got a rather nasty scratch on his chest, but he survived.  He's a tough guy.

Meanwhile, John couldn't decide if it was the best day ever or the worst day ever.  I think he was just a little overwhelmed and wanted everyone to enjoy the day.  He was particularly upset that he wasn't going to break the pinata.  We made sure that he "broke" the pinata!

In all, it was a nice day.  Everyone had a good time.  And, the boys slept well after their exciting day.
