Yesterday it was finally Crosby's turn to have his birthday party, and I think he had a lot of fun!

We did very little decorating, but we had monkey invitations, brightly colored plates and napkins, a foam monkey center piece, lots of bananas and balloons.
The indoor playground connected to the party room--it was perfect for the kids. They played for a while, stopped briefly for cupcakes and juice and then played some more. They had tons of energy!

There's the birthday boy running by!

Crosby's little face was so red from running around all over the place.





We love this baby boy SOOOOO much!

Lane's parents came over to our house for a while after the party. Crosby skipped his nap to play with them. He was exhausted last night! We made a quick trip to Sonic around 4:30 and he fell asleep in the car.
This was our first attempt at a picture of C with his Grammy & Bobba! :) He did not want to hand over the balloons!


Later we asked him if he'd like to let the balloons fly up in the air. We made sure he understood that we couldn't get them back, but that they wouldn't last until tomorrow anyway. So he wanted to let them go out on the deck. We waited for just the right gust of wind...
up...up and...

...right into the tree across the fence! Oh well, they were fun to watch for just a few seconds!
Tomorrow is C's actual birthday. I asked him what he would like to do and he said he'd like to go see a real firetruck and go to the park. I wish I'd tried to arrange for a fire station tour for his birthday--I think they do those?? It's probably a little late to try to set that up, but if the weather is nice we'll try to go to the park to play. We decided to wait and do his Purple Cow birthday dinner next weekend.
