We made it through the big birthday bash! It was an all out Dora-fest!!! Lucy had a great time, although she was stumbling around at the end trying to talk to TT with her eyes shutting more and more with each word ~ she was completely exhausted!!! The kids jumped like maniacs in the bouncer and had a great time. Lucy wanted her cake right away, but was very good to finish her dinner first before digging into Dora (who looked a little cracked out . . . ha ha. . . see pic of cake above!) And oh my goodness ~ the presents!!! There were SOOO many, it was like Christmas all over again. . . . Cousin Lizzy was a great help, reading each card to Lucy and helping her open each present. . . . THANKS LIZ!
And I'm still a little shocked at how great Lucy was about thanking everyone . . . hugs to each person after she opened their gift, my fave was the hug for Pops (my grandpa). It's just funny when kids open their gifts from Pops. You see for years I though Pops was the greatest gift giver! Always getting just what I wanted, he really knew me well. Little did I know that he was giving the checks to my mom who was buying the present. But I just think it's great as a child to have this idea of your grandpa (in Lucy's case, great grandpa) that he knows just what you like! By the way, he got Lucy two outfits and tons of crafts (aka "craps") stuff. I had to share this story because Ryan later told me that at the party when I was telling everyone that this gift was from Pops, my dad looked at him and said "Well Pops, how did you know to get Dora the Explorer wrapping paper?" and Pops said "I just know these things!" as if he even knew who Dora was!!! Thanks to everyone who helped so much . . . my aunts, mom, and sisters!!! You guys are great!!!
