Several days after we got back from Boston, we had Garrett's San Antonio party with friends here (and his Grandma Morrison). It was suuuuuper hot, and I have come to the realization that Garrett's Texas birthday parties just need to happen indoors or at night. But it was still fun. Russ grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and I made a "real" strawberry cake to go along with the "ballpark" theme. We also had veggies, fruit, chips, Cracker Jacks, and condiments galore!

My mom was in town to celebrate with us and, of course, help me prepare for the par-tay. In typical Morrison fashion, there were a lot of unforseen circumstances the night before: (1) Bernoulli ate a good portion of 2 of the 3 layers I had baked for the cake, (2) my mom drank hydrogen peroxide, (3) Russ's self-inking Rx stamp got all over the inside of the dryer making it a big pain to wash the tablecloth for the party (thank goodness for moms and magic erasers), and (4) some other stuff I can't remember...

The party started at 2, just when things were getting really hot. We had a good turn-out, lots of kiddos and babies! I felt really blessed to have such wonderful community and support for raising Garrett.

ReplyDeleteDid Russ end up playing with the ride-on toy more than G?
