{birthday party}

We had a busy weekend. Debbie came in on Friday and stayed until Sunday night and my parents came Saturday and left Monday. As usual, Gerard had a ball. He monopolized Aunt Debbie all day Friday and would barely let her sit down. However, she was quickly replaced by Grandpa on Saturday, who gladly took his place as Gerard's slave.

We had Gerard's 4th birthday party on Sunday. It was a "Cars" party, and the kids decorated little wooden cars that they then raced on a track that Gerard built. I think everyone had fun. All my hard work at my cake decorating class paid off, and his "Lightning McQueen" cake looked pretty good. Of course I forgot to take a picture of it, but Gerard thinks he got a good shot of it on the video. Hopefully he's right and I'll be able to show you what it looked like.

In the meantime, here's a glimpse of the party:

What a great weekend! I wish I could have stayed longer. Everything was perfect, and everyone had such a great time with the games and pinata and cake. And Morgan was so content the whole day too. I'm so happy I was able to be there!
