The day of Rory’s party dawned quite cloudy. It actually rained a lot overnight, so things were pretty sloppy outside. But the rain cleared a couple of hours before party time, and we had a wonderful day celebrating the little one.
(Oh, but aren’t family pictures interesting these days thanks to the wonk potatoes.)
The party started at 11 in the morning, and the birthday boy was awake from his nap and dressed before the first guests arrived. The house quickly filled with people, the party in full swing before too long.
The big kids had a blast in the bouncy house, as I expected they would. I appointed Aunt Lizzie the official party photographer, and I am so glad I did. She actually climbed into the bouncy with my camera to take these awesome pics. Thanks, LPb!
Even Rory and Kate got the check out the bouncy during the party, albeit from a distance. Those big kids just didn’t want to give up their claim to the fun. Next year, you two. Next year.
Once everyone had left and the birthday boy had taken another nap, we opened his presents. Riley of course “helped” open everything that Rory got. I barely had enough time to write one thing down before he moved on to the next gift.
Rory mostly got clothes, because again, we already have ALL. THE. TRUCKS. But one of my absolute favorite things he received was a handmade onesie from QP.
It’s the pi symbol in honor of him being born on National Pi Day! LOVE it.
And with that, Rory’s first birthday celebration came to a close. I know he won’t remember it at all, and I know he was a little overwhelmed at times, but I just hope he enjoyed being surrounded by people who love him.
Happy, happy birthday, Sweetness. I love you so much.
