The men debating which burger is the manliest
Cousin love: Alex, Rachel (the birthday girl) and Jake
After a delicious lunch we headed over to the inlaws to opend presents and eat cake! There was a snafu with the bathroom, so that needed to be fixed before the celebration started. While dad was working on that, mom gave us some gifts for baby 2. She knitted a beautiful blanket!
You can't really tell the colors, but it's white, grey, light blue, dark blue, and periwinkle. It is gorgeous! She also bought us 4 outfits, 1 for each size up to a year.
By the time the birthday girl finally got to open her presents it was already 5:00 pm and I knew we weren't leaving for awhile. After presents we had cake and chocolate ice cream. Jake loved the cake, but the ice cream was too cold and he kept making this weird face. We spent the rest of the evening playing with the kids and catching up on family business. By the time we left it was after 6:30 and both Jake and I were worn out. We slept all the way home. I just don't have energy anymore. I miss my skinnier self, staying up later than 8:00 and eating what I want. Come on baby. Don't make me wait the full 40 weeks!!!!!
I don't know about you, but even after baby was born I wasn't back to my skinnier self, didn't want to stay up later than 8, and still couldn't eat what I wanted. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's times like these that I wished we lived closer so we could be a part of family celebrations! Looks like there were some happy little kiddos! And the baby blanket is amazing!
