december twenty-one

Sean's 2nd birthday party was today. First to arrive was his cousin Oliver. (Who is 4 months older than Sean). We don't get to see Oli & his parents often, but it's fun when we do!

We had a Sesame Street puppet theater perform for the 5 kids at the party. There were supposed to be about 12 kids (and all their parents too), but there was a HUGE storm today, and the weather was nasty. Some kids also got sick over the weekend, and were hoping to feel better by today, but weren't.

Sean absolutely LOVED that Elmo was in the show.

Sean wanted to give Kermit a kiss.

The kids had a great time playing with bubbles.

Then Elmo came out:

Sean couldn't believe that Elmo was there. He even showed Elmo his book to make sure that was really him. It was priceless.

Sean was giddy with excitement.

He just wouldn't let any of the other kids see Elmo, and wouldn't let him leave.

Elmo stayed for cake time (thanks to Nana for making the cake!)

After everyone left, Sean got to open his birthday presents. (His fave I think were the Elmo slippers from Jamie & I).

And Mackie wanted to help open gifts.

Tonight's the first night of Chanukah, so we lit the candles tonight.

We want to wish everyone a happy chanukah!

Sean's birthday party was a success, and Elmo was a huge hit. (I was sooo scared that life size Elmo would freak the kisd out). Sean didn't nap today, maybe he was too excited for Elmo coming to his party, so I'm super glad he's in bed now. I've got to go give Mack a bottle on the couch, and probably fall asleep with him, I'm that tired from today. Jamie's out at the habs game tonight, with my brother. GO HABS GO!
