After party sugar crash....

What an exciting weekend for my little man. He celebrated his second birthday in grand style with the help of family, friends and his favorite web-slinging hero. It was a Spider-Man theme, Mommy tried to talk him into a fun Pirate party, but it was a no go. He is a Spidey fan through and through!

The kids had a GREAT time ...splashing, water balloons, sidewalk chalk, fire hose sprinklers pinatas, and Uncle Mattie played a game of 500 with the big boys~don't ask...I think he made it up! And of course all of Tate's favorite snacks! Spicey Spidey Salsa, Green Goblin Guacamole, fruit and fruit dip, Muffaletta on a stick, Taylor's gigantic, YUMMY decorated cookies, (Spiders & spiderwebs of course!) a spidey cake, and an ice cream bar complete with waffle bowls, sprinkle, hot fudge, caramel, nuts, mini chocolate chips whip cream and cherries. Yumm-o!

It was fun, but in true Elizabeth style, the party couldn't go without a hitch. We had one mishap. Slippery, little Jon, fresh out of the pool, wriggled out of his mother's protective arms and bonked his head on the cement. It was TRAUMATIC, at least for the grown-ups. Kim was clutching him tight, with tears streaming, I ran for my sister Katie, (she is a nurse and mother and has plenty of experience with head trauma). We were grabbing towels, ice packs and green goop to smear on his head, Jon on the other hand......he shed a few tears and was back to play with the kids! .......to much excitement for me! Next year......something simple.....

A great big HUG & KISS to everyone who helped us celebrate and a thank you for all the gifts. We so appreciate your love and kindness to our little family....
