Rowan’s 1st Bday

Rowan turns one on Tuesday and his mom and dad threw him a little party today.  He got a big ol’ puppy and was in love with it.  He LOVES doggies and this was the perfect gift and prop for his mini photo shoot.

Bang’s parents flew up for the weekend and they couldn’t be prouder.  They were also very excited for our anticipated arrival too.

There were lots of babies and a Jack who looked like a giant next to all the toddlers.  The Bangs have a HUGE backyard and he took advantage of the space.

Reese was all dressed up for a party with a bow in her hair and all.  Simply adorable.

Little Ben played under the table and it was fun to watch him from the backyard window.

Alexander (the youngest of the group) was chillin’ with his dad and got a quick ride on Bang’s shoulders.

Rowan had to choose his destiny and chose the keyboard.  I guess that translates to a future as an Engineer.

Of course there was cake and there was an extra one for Bang’s birthday, which happens to be two days after Rowan’s.  Here’s a photo of the Bangs.

And here’s the rest of the photos.  Happy Birthday Baby Bang and Senior Bang!

Holiday Hi-jinks

Last night I hosted our Annual PediRehab Holiday Party at the Clubhouse in my building.  It was a success last year so I volunteered myself and the room for our little shindig once again.  This time I got food catered from Ozone (the Thai place down the street from here) and we had food food for days.  Everyone enjoyed it all and I even made Mommy’s Secret Coconut Sticky Rice with the mangoes I found at Costco.

Speaking of Costco…I bought the drinks and the famous 7-pound chocolate cake there and it fell off our cart and onto the floor (opened and upside-down) as we exited the warehouse.  I was mortified but luckily the Costco guy was nice enough to quickly clean it up for me and grabbed another one from inside.  Phew.  That sucker was $17 and I didn’t want to wait in line for another one.

Anyhoo…back to the party.  Everyone had a great time and Patty was drinking her fair share that night.  In fact, by the end of the night, she had slipped and fallen, couldn’t stop talking about my belly-button, and ended up sleeping in my fort (the couch) last night.  She was a hot mess but endless entertainment for me…the only sober one in the place.

We had a pretty good turn-out and I’m pretty sure everyone got home safely.  It was certainly a happy holiday party for all of us this year.

I didn’t take as many photos this year but I got some highlights.
