Adam's friends party

Lucky Adam, he got to celebrate his birthday for about a week this year! We had his friends party and he had a great time. Unfortunately, the weather didn't really cooperate but we managed to have ten kids and their parents in our little house! (We did get out onto the back deck for a while but the bees came out, so we had to head back inside.) But, even with all the little ones running around, it wasn't too crazy here.

A few of the kids were a little hesitant to come into the busy house. Here's Adam encouraging his little friend, Dev, to come in and play.

This is Adam and his little friend, Talia, and her mom, Michelle, learning their letters! Gotta start young. :)

The big boys, Daniel, Luke and Carson, playing with cars.

Adam, Fina and Daniel "just having a snack" (as Daniel informed us). We ended up having to move the chips because I think they ate the equivalent of their entire lunch in chips!

The boys of the party - at least the ones that braved the bees that were outside.


Come on! It's time for cake!


Adam's cake, made by Mommy. We almost had a cake disaster that morning, though. I couldn't find a part of my icing piping bag and couldn't decorate the cake. James could see that I would never forgive myself if I couldn't even write "Happy Birthday" on Adam's cake so he literally ran (and sped) all the way to the grocery store and bought me a tube of decorating icing and the green sprinkles. Not bad, considering it was decorated about 15 minutes before the party started! (The animals were strategically place by Daniel and Adam.)

Adam loved blowing out his candle, but did need a little help from his big brother.

Most of the kids (missing one because she was in the bathroom).

This boy loves his chocolate!

Present opening!

Adam loved this card from Auntie Lauren. He went around and made the puppet "bite" every single person at the party!

He also took his job of handing out goodie bags very seriously.

Adam had a great time at his party and was completely worn out by the time it ended. Thank you everyone for coming and for his wonderful gifts. He's a lucky boy to have so many great friends.
