Poor Adam. His birthday is just a couple days before Christmas. So, I always feel he gets short-changed in the birthday party arena. Usually we have a family party for him on his actual birthday, but the party with friends gets lost in the shuffle. Last year, we had a birthday party at the end of January, and it worked out really well. So, to celebrate a milestone birthday - the big One -Oh! - we waited again to the end of January to celebrate. We let Adam invite 7 friends for a big sleep over party. YIKES! What were we thinking, right?!? Actually, it wasn't too bad. We started by letting the boys just hang out and play around. Since it was a little misty outside, we had Nerf wars in the house.
We had pizza for dinner, followed by birthday cupcakes...picked out by the birthday boy himself!
And of course, the presents:
I retired upstairs to my room and left Danny downstairs to pay attention to the boys. Not that they needed much attention. They watched Despicable Me and G.I. Joe and fell asleep sometime around Midnight. The next morning, I got up and made my world famous (at least in Adam's mind!) pancakes.
Overall, Adam was just the happiest of kids. He told me several times that it was his best birthday ever! That's the best you can hope for, right?
