The Party

Last night Matthew and I got invited to a party by our children. In case it's not obvious, the invitation says, "Your invited to a party - Mom and Dad". Complete with a star because I love them so.

The kids planned a party/celebration complete with snacks (fruit & nut bars and apples) and party games. We played pin the sign on the piece of wood, and dance party freeze. Boy Howdy and Cheeks sang their made up songs into their makeshift microphone (the aforementioned piece of wood). When they were done they would yell "Freeze!" We the dancers, would then freeze until the singer started again. Their songs were pretty entertaining. One of Boy Howdy's was about lost love while the other was about Rock and Roll. They were very involved. We played running around the house, but Cheeks changed the rules so that I could just walk while she and her brother ran. We also played walking around being totally quiet. Matthew won that one. The final game was taking some rice hand warmers and trying to get from one side of the room with the warmers on different parts of our bodies.

The kids LOVED the evening and Matthew and I LOVED seeing the joy on our babies faces. A wonderful way to end a Sunday.
