Rory's party

Though we were out quite past our bedtime, we still arose at the usual time and got ready for our pal Rory's 3rd birthay party!  The party was from 10-12, which I loved and featured some brunch type food (another plus).  

All smiles as we prepare to celebrate.

 

 The birthday girl wearing the crown we made for her and full of joy.

 And finally, I love this photo - these two pals see each other 4-6 times a year, and I am still amazed at when they see each other how they run and jump up and down - - as if not a day has passed.  And despite the chocolate teeth, these two have the whitest and best smiles on a boy I have seen.  Kudos to great brushing.

And with the day still ahead of us, when we got home and the weather was warmer than usual, what else were we to do but enjoy the outside and practice our rollerblading.

To end this blog post, I have to comment on the great party bags.  Not filled with candy or anything I feel I have to fight the kids about not having, etc.  No we got crayons, coloring books, window clings (a first!), and finally glow sticks.  And who is the biggest kid of all making a flashlight:::::

 DADDY!!!

Finally, you know the party favors are a hit when you fall asleep clutching same! :-)

Goodnight & thanks to the E family for including us in such a wonderful party.
