Grey's First Birthday Party

What would I have done this weekend without Zephy, Grammie, and Grandpa??  We had plans to set up for the party on Saturday, do last minute errands, and both Zippy and Grevin were sick.  Zippy had a 24 hour stomach bug which made him curl up in bed all day.  Grevin had a high temperature, was laying on my lap whimpering, and didn't want to eat.  Now, all of you who know Grevin, this is highly unusual.  I took him to urgent care that afternoon.  Turns out he had a double ear infection and his left eardrum had ruptured.  Once we pumped him full of antibiotics, he was MUCH better!  He still wasn't himself at his party but at least he got to enjoy it.  While my mom, Doyle, and Ben helped me take care of Grevin and Zippy Saturday, Zephy, Grammie, and Grandpa were hard at work doing all the errands and cleaning that we were suppose to do. I don't think I can thank them enough!!

The weather was BEAUTIFUL for Grevin's birthday.  We were all able to hang out outside on one of the first really warm days of the year.  All of our friends were able to come, Doyle said he has never seen that many kids all together outside of childcare! It was nice to enjoy the beautiful weather with  Grevin's friends and family (a small party of about 50 people, including 15 kids!).

Singing happy birthday to Grevin! (the cake was originally supposed to be a soccer ball but with all of the chaos before the party, we didn't have time to do more than put blue icing on it!)

He was not quite sure what to do with it...

His cousin Andrew liked the icing!

It tasted much better eating it off of his arm!

Loves playing with his new ball!

Almost as much as playing in the cooler...

On the way home...he partied hard!

Thank you to everyone who came out to play with us.  It was a wonderful day!
