We had such a fun time for their birthday and birthday party. Thank you for all who came and celebrated with us. For those who couldn't come, you were missed. We feel completely blessed to have so many people in our lives who care about us and our children. Thank you.
We had our party on 11/9/08 (two days after their birthday) in Newtown Park near our home. It was about 10 degrees cooler than ideal, but most of the children were on the playground or the field and didn't notice it. Luckily, we had coffee for the parents.
We had about 110 come to the party, 25 children under 2, and 30 children over 2. Guests included both sets of grandparents who travelled from Florida to see them. Aunt Gail and Uncle Bob came in town for a conference and surprised us! Another triplet family joined us, as well as half of our playgroup who brighten up our Fridays every week. Our two favorite NICU nurses who helped us survive leaving them at night came and both mentioned leaving with at least one of them. They really loved our children in the hospital. So many of our close friends and neighbors came to enjoy the day. If only our children's aunts and families could have made the trip.
Nathan absolutely loved the cake, perhaps this is why he is a little heavier than the others. Daniel was a little tired by the end of the party - he actually fell asleep in the swing. Emily (who normally loves sweets) wasn't as interested this time. She's actually our best food eater - so maybe she ate too much food before cake.
I'm including a few pictures of the party. Enjoy.
