Day 365 : It's Your Party...

Sadie -

The big party Mom and I have been excited about for weeks was today!

After your afternoon nap (which you really didn't want to take... you must have known we had something special up our sleeves!), the three of us went to beautiful Brown Park, just a few neighborhoods away, and were met by your Aunt Amy, Cousins Jasmine and Josh, Great Grandma Gee, Dee Dee, Pops, and Uncle Joel.

We played on the playground for awhile. Your Grandpa (Pops) and I were having fun pushing you on the "zip line." It is designed for much older kids, but you were loving just holding on to it tightly and letting us push you.

After we played, we opened gifts. You sat between my legs while Cousin Jasmine brought wrapped-up boxes and gift bags full of surprises for you to demolish. You got a LOT of stuff - a shape sorter from your cousins and Aunt, blocks from your Uncle. You got sweatsuits and a book from Grandma and Grandpa and a special plate from your Great Grandma - not to mention all of the cool stuff Mom and I got for you. We didn't give you the lego blocks today, though. You can open those on Wednesday!

For dinner we ate vegtable soup. Then came the cake and ice cream. You had never seen these items before. You examined them both, then picked up a whole glob of the cold ice cream and shoved it on to your face and into your mouth. It was HILARIOUS!

Today was awesome!
