Celebrations!!!

In the last week we've had two friends give birth and celebrated both Jon and Reed's Birthdays - talk about a popular time of year!!! Here is a quick rundown of the celebrations that took place, leading up to the "big event."

On Sunday Gran and Papa joined us for dinner so they could spend time with all of us and give Jon and Reed their Birthday presents. Reed loved reading his card, opening his gifts, and insisted on immediately making Nonna go to work reading one of the books he received.

Wednesday was Jon's Birthday. He wouldn't give me any ideas for Birthday presents and said he just wanted to play soccer for his Birthday. I organized an evening game with some of our friends, followed by watching an Arsenal game at our house with everyone while enjoying some pizza, beer, and cupcakes. Reed thought helping Dad blow out candles was awesome and was also a great sport about playing and sharing with six month old Clara.

I'm skipping over Reed's party as it will follow in a separate post, but couldn't not mention that on Saturday I went over to the coast for the day to celebrate Auntie "M's" last days as a single woman . . . yes that's right, at almost 8 months pregnant I attended a Bachelorette party. It was a lot of fun and even though it was an exhausting week, I wouldn't have missed it.
