the birthday week begins

July 19th, 2010

Asher is turning 1 this week and with great fanfare we kick off his first ever annual birthday week celebration!

When I say great fanfare, I mean it. The gang of nutters in my mom’s group decided to throw a baby toga birthday party in the park this weekend and it was a blast. Seriously, if you have to hang out with a bunch of babies all the time I highly recommend you do it with crazy people, it makes things much more fun.

Kerstin (Nate’s mom) is a graphic artist and designed this SERIOUSLY AWESOME banner of babies. Its a timeline by birthday and it is crazy adorable.

Bekki (Will’s mom) crafted 30 headband garlands for the little angels and Libby (Bryce’s mom) actually thought to bring a table. Go moms!

Luckily I put a white onesie on underneath as a modesty garment because Asher’s toga lasted about 3 minutes.

His head garland lasted around 15, maybe 20.

We did a lazy man’s pot luck meaning that people just brought whatever they felt like and it was perfect. We ended up with a lot of watermelon, pasta salad and booze but what more do you need on a 90 degree day?

Ya know, besides puffs.

So many babyfriends were there!

We tried to do a group shot but everyone freaked the fuck out.

Yes, thats Asher crawling away from the hysteria. I plopped him down and in the 7 seconds he could not find me he started heading for the hills.

Things calmed down pretty quickly when he realized there was food and BALLS! and a whole park.

“THAT!”

All in all it was a pretty awesome day. I cannot WAIT for halloween with these guys.
