n's 1st Birthday Party

March really flew by for us. Here's the recap of n's first birthday party. We had it at my parents' house. The theme was Paul Frank's Julius the Monkey and the colors were supposed to be light red and blue. n wore an outfit that one of my college roommates had given to n (thanks j!) We had hotdogs (Nathan's!), chili and rice (how JA, I know). My dad also bought some sausages from Mattern Sausage & Meats in Orange. My mom made a mini cake for n, and there were also cookies, cupcakes, rice krispy treats and finger jello. There were a lot of little boys, and they seemed to enjoy exploring the house/yard. One tried to escape over the fence. My sister found them in the laundry room and asked what they were doing. They responded, "Making plans!" Hmmm...

We set up a sandbox in an underbed storage box.


Would you like a sand cone?


A different college roommate helped me make these toothpick flags. (Thanks, l!) She really came over to watch basketball, but I put her to work :)
