*phew*

Let me take a short breather.

Okay. We had a pretty busy day today. Bostyn at least let me sleep in a little bit this morning. But once we all woke up, cereal just wasn't enough for the kids today. So Noah, Bostyn and I went to IHOP and stuffed ourselves silly. Then we came home to get ready for Noah's birthday party. Margie made the cakes (thank you) and e decorated it once we were at Boondock's. It was a skateboard theme and we had an actual skate ramp with "skateboard guys" on it. It was a HUGE hit with all the boys, who kept playing with it once Noah blew out his candles. It was better than actually eating it, apparantly! We had alot more kids show up than we were expecting. We had a turnout of 19 kids that were actually invited, and some of them brought their siblings, so we had more than 20 children. We welcomed all of them though, I say the more the better! Chris and I only wish we could have made it more personal and I don't think we will ever have his party at Boondocks again, as fun as it can be. We are also discussing celebrating his birthday more towards the summer, when we have more options and not so close to Christmas. So maybe next year. Chris and I were so busy that we didn't get to eat food, so we stopped at Zupas on the way home. Highly recommend it. They had amazing food and we wish they weren't so far from our home. Bostyn even liked the Thai Lobster Curry soup a lot. After we got home, Chris left to go to a MarioKart Wii contest at Blake's house. Good luck babe! We opened all of Noah's presents, which he really made out this year. His gifts ranged from Skittles & Jelly Beans to a John Deere loader.


Thank you to everyone for their thoughtfulness and generosity, we really appreciate it! There were quite a few that didn't have cards or any information as to who they were from, so thank you cards will be a little difficult, but I'll try my best! Pics will be posted soon.

Thanks again to everyone!
Love, Noah

(we look forward to going to 2 birthday parties next Saturday)
