"Griffin's Birthday Party....."

Sunday was another gorgeous Fall day!  We had Griffin's birthday party to go to, which was an earlier event than most would expect.  The party was from 10-12.....early because of nap time....not only for Griffin, but for many of the younger "attendees".   ;)

Here is the cake that Lonny and Charlie made for Griffin.  Isn't it amazing!?  And it was delicious, too!  I would expect that, of course, as Lonny's favorite dessert of all is "cake", so he would make sure it was tasty.   ;)

Regular blow up balloons came out first and after playing the "keep the balloon off the floor" game, the mylar birthday balloons made their appearance.

Time to get a group photo!  Unbelievably, that went quite smoothly and with full cooperation!

Don got this nice family portrait......

Having a birthday and being a good host can be thirsty work!

Neighbor Joe will get to do this "fatherly" role full-time in the near future.  Yep, he and Meghan will be bringing another addition into our neighborhood family in April.

Griffin beginning to open his presents with some help from Dad.  He looks so serious, doesn't he?   ;)

Believe it or not, Charlie was still her happy, patient, smiling self at the end of the party!

A good time was had by all!!!
