It was my first hosting experience...
And I wanted everything to be PERFECT.
(I made Mom, Dad and Luke change outfits three times.)
I appointed Luke the Balloon Manager.
That kept him occupied for a good hour and a half.
This freed me up to greet guests, test out hors d'oeuvres, and play DJ!
I confess that I fell prey to some minor social stress... what if no one came to the party?
Thankfully, the Birthday gang arrived right on time.
And so did honorary Birthday Girl, Genevieve!
Luke likes to call her "Geeve" - but LOOK! She's turning away! She's totally not having that.
Isn't she the cutest?
Hey little cousin!
Guess what, Evie? I'm your BIG cousin! And this is the first time I've ever used "big" to describe myself.
Later, we played party games, like "Ride the Luke"!
Personally, I prefer the slightly more stable version of this game - "Ride the Uncle James."
But as the night wore on, "Cuddle with Grandy" was the nicest game.
Even though I personally didn't receive any presents, I was really happy that Aunt Liz and Grandy and Boppa got some great gifts.
What a blast!
(And N.B.: someone went to sleep right on time...and some crazy toddler stayed up three and a half hours past his bedtime. But I'm not naming names.)
