Birthday Party

[celticdragonfly]

We had a marvelous birthday party for Maggie today. Lots of her friends came. The Tyras - Gerry, Sandy, Rhiannon, and Sean - were there, and LeeAnn and Paul Taylor, and Louann Miller came with Andrew, who'll be three himself next month, and Sarah Berry with Gabrielle, who was three in February and is Maggie's special friend.

There was much food, conversation, and Maggie getting attention. It was wonderful, I'm so glad so many people came. I took some pictures - I'm realizing I didn't get pictures of a lot of the people who were here, I was mostly focusing on Maggie. Go here for pictures and captions with commentary:

What a marvelous day for them.

selenite is such a dear, he set up the play structure so I can keep an eye on them from my computer chair inside.

We must remember to be paranoid about the gate, though. After everyone was gone the kids were playing outside a bit while selenite and I fixed dinner. selenite suddenly looked panicked and headed out the back door at a run, so I followed - turned out he'd seen a wisp of white go by through the kitchen bay window, which looks out the side yard just past the gate. The gate was open and no kids - we ran out and found them in front, Jamie in the street! EEEEEEK. Fortunately no cars around, we scooped them up, tried to impress on Maggie how badly she scared us, and took them inside.

Really reminds me how lucky I am, to have these two wonderful little ones.

Hudson, because he's a bay...oooh...ouch. The play fort looks like a lot of fun; too bad I'm too big for the slide. :(

What wondeful pictures! You've given Ubermom a leg up. :)
