Well, the way we roll in our family... you don't get just one birthday party... you get multiples!
So the weekend before we celebrated Owen turning 1 down at my parent's with family and friends, and then this weekend we celebrated up at Neal's parents house with his family and our friends up here.
We had a spread of snacks, grilled up some hot dogs and sausages, set up the downstairs family room to be kid-friendly... and just let the wild bunch go wild!

| Whoa, wait... what??? Playing quietly??? The gang of 3 year olds??? |
Owen loved getting to have cake again!! That kiddo knows what is good in life and didn't hesitate.
Gramma Pete supervised the present opening portion of the party.. which the gang of 3 year olds were WAY into.. while Owen just kinda watched....
Or maybe Owen was the mastermind behind all of this and was like "slaves! Do my work for me... open my presents!!!" and the Gang was none the wiser. :-)
It was a fun, but wild day! Our friend Mike summed it up perfectly at one point when we were focusing on disciplining the Gang and breaking up a fight over a monster truck and soothing some crocodile tears and doing the whole "this isn't yours, now you go over there, apologize to him, find something else to play with" song-and-dance.... he said "what happened to our lives??? Should we all just go somewhere and cry??"
Funniest, and most accurate summary of parenting small kids ever!!! #truth
