Monkey Madness!

We had a Curious George themed birthday party for Chasen this weekend. We had (including kids) 27 people over for a cookout! The kids played in pools and blasted each other with water guns. We also had "dry" toys of sand, fishing, and an art easel. I can't believe how hard and long the kids played! I thought they would get tired, but we couldn't get them to stop playing! Chasen was shy when we sang him the birthday song and surprisingly had to be coaxed into belying out his candle. He usually blows at all candles (even when they aren't lit)! He got lots of fun gifts, and of course wanted to play with every toy once he opened it! We had a really good time but are really tired today. It was more work than we expected getting ready for the party, an all day affair. (Not to mention the weeks of prep work and yard work!) Both of our moms helped out and brought food for the party. Silka really helped us out as well. She came over and worked for 4+ hours in the hot sun AND helped set up AND clean up the food! Our party would have been a bust and not a blast if it wasn't for Aunti Silka! Thank you everyone!
