Party with friends

We had guests this weekend to celebrate Gus' birthday (yes, again). Mike, Michelle, and Gabby arrived on Friday night. Kristie & Skunny were in on Friday, too. Below you can see Gus ripping into his gift, a Spider Man Trike. It is AWESOME. Gabby helped open the gift.

Saturday, we had the neighborhood crew over for an Olympic-themed party. It was funny. First up, creating the team flags for opening ceremonies.



Ally lead the contestants in the Pledge of Allegiance before the games began.

Because of a last minute drop-out, I had to step in on the clothes relay race.

Avary and Gabby had front row seats.

The donut eating contest was hilarious.







Gus received so many wonderful gifts. Thank you, everyone!


The awards/closing ceremonies were combined with cake time.




Michelle delivered the cake & candle to Gus while we all sang Happy Birthday.


After everyone left, Gus wrestled with a ton of paper and thought it was the funnest thing he's done in months.


On Sunday before Gabby left, we convinced Gus to plant a big one on her. YES!


Again, thank you everyone for your birthday generosity! Gus is loving life right now, he's finally really into birthdays. And we know this because when we ate leftover cake on Sunday, he tried to sing Happy Birthday to himself!
