I'm just now able to write about McKenna's birthday party. What a blast!
It was a lot of fun to get to throw a party for McKenna and have other kids over to play with her. I feel bad a lot of the time because she sits at home with mommy, and we don't know any other families with kids her age, so it's often like she doesn't have any playmates aside from me, mommy, and grandma.
So she ran around and squealed at everyone, and giggled, and ate things off of everyone's plate and had a grand time. She made out like crazy with the gifts too. There is a huge raft of people that love this child, and that makes me feel really good.
Owen was also the star of the weekend. Everyone wanted to hold him and love him, and tickle him.
On Sunday we went to the birthday party of a little girl that was born one week after McKenna, but by that point, McKenna was so burnt out on people and parties that she got really cranky.
Other highlights for the evening were we got to spend a lot of time with our good friend Laura, and go with her to Hersheypark in the Dark. I'm still a tad too overweight to ride the rides, but that will change. Laura's always fun to hang out with.
It was also really good to see Mike and Sujata. Since I've moved I don't fee like I get enough time with any of my friends. We wanted to see Brian and Charlotte, but by the time we got done with visiting everyone else and travelling around, there was really only half an hour for them. :( I felt really bad.
And just think, in another 10 months, we'll be doing this all over for Owen's first birthday!!!!
