Happy Birthday Time

Sunday afternoon we threw up some balloons, fixed some snacks, and invited over some friends for Jamie's birthday party. It couldn't have come soon enough, according to Jamie, who has been talking about his party for literally months. "Balloons? Bubbles?" he'd ask. Check, check. "CAKE?!?!" Two cakes. World's Best Mom, I know.

"PRESENTS???" You know it, kid. Most of Jamie's classmates are on vacation, but his best bud Axel got to come, plus a bunch of other friends whose parents happen to also by my friends. It was a loud, crazy, fun afternoon and at least one of us is already looking forward to next year. Indeed, Jamie asked me on the way to school today if it was "happy birthday time" again yet.
