Cowabunga Dude

Nathan is FIVE!! Can you believe it? I can't.



We had a fairly large party at the house. Invited twin boys who we've known since swim lessons when we first moved here, and who are in Nathan's Pre-K class. And Sunny and Mimi who we've been friends with for awhile. Plus a girl from daycare and skating who shares Nathan's b-day, and whose party we went to on Saturday. We also ran into his girlfriend from Canton, and decided to invite her too, even though we seldom see her anymore. Her Mom was a font on knowledge on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle lore, so that was a bonus.


All total, that means there were 8 kids between the ages of 2 1/2 and five running around. Two other parents never RSVP'd, so I was prepared for having 10 kids. They were actually very well behaved, so well behaved that I was afraid they weren't having fun. Especially when they all sat quietly around the table eating the fruit and veggie platters that Dan made. But there was enough chaos during the pinata to make up for everything (and no, they didn't bean anyone with a bat, you can get pull-string pinatas now).



I love the party dresses that all the girls had on, I'll have to get a cute one for Claire's birthday.
