So as most of you already know, Lukas celebrated his first birthday on Friday. I worked from home on Friday and spent most of it running errands to prepare for his party on Saturday. We stayed home on Friday night to clean the house. Saturday morning, we got up bright and early, cleaned some more and started the party at 11. We ended up hosting 20 kids and about 40 accompanying adults. It went by fast, but it was fun.
We had veggies, Cheerios, puffs, goldfish, potato chips, shrimp cocktail, pizza, mac-n-cheese, and cake. Everyone left by 3:30 for their respective naps and we spent the evening at home trying to recover. The cleanup wasn't too bad since we used mostly paper plates and disposables. He now has lots of books, puzzles, and toys to play with. We haven't given him everything so that he'll have some new stuff to play with every few days. He ate cake, but wasn't that fazed by it. To him it seemed like it was just something else to eat, so I guess it will be a while before I give him more of it. Why start a sweet tooth when he doesn't seem to have one?
All in all, I think everyone seemed to have a good time. The kids seemed to like the balloons and the giftbags that we put together. It was a beautiful day outside and we spent it with good friends, so what else could you ask for?
On Sunday, we attended another first birthday for Lukas's friend Katie. They were born about 45 minutes apart and we met them on our Friday stroller walks. Hers was a princess party which was more intimate and definitely less crazy, but still fun.
Pictures to be posted later, but here's a video of when we were in Hawaii:
