What a cool day. This was Dan's and my official entrance into the world of social parenting. This is a world altogether seperate from the parenting we've done up to this point....and I think it was a success. Dan started feeling the pressure when he saw how much I was working on the invitations and party favors and cupcakes, so he stepped up to the plate and made a darling little barn for the babes to play in at the party. Can you believe he just whipped that up? He's quite a man--and resourceful too; it didn't cost a penny.
These are the finger puppets our guests took home as party favors. They were a hit.
Harrison's uber-cool friend Camden showed up with this sweet John Deere and was kind enough to take Harrison for a spin.
The birthday boy got his first taste of frosting and LOVED it. After he had his official birthday cupcake, I found him a while later with another one. He was polishing it off and looking for more. I'm sensing another major eater on the rise in the family.
Everyone was a little standoffish at first to get in the barn, but eventually it was the center of the action.
All in all, it really was a fabulous time. I'm glad we did it and it was fantastic to have so many wonderful friends that could come and celebrate with us. Of course, we missed our grandmas and grandpas, but we're doing the best we can when they're not around.

Wow! What a birthday party! Harrison is one handsome, lucky little dude! And boy do we wish we could be there to celebrate with you.
Good job, Mommy and Daddy. You get an A+ in 1st year Parenting. The new semester begins immediately. Do you need to buy new books?
We love you all!
