Ryan's brother & family from CA came out for Valentine's/Dallintine's/President's Day weekend. (My nephew Dallin's birthday is Feb 14th, hence, Dallintine's Day.) Lucky for me, Ryan came back on Wed night last week, then worked on the north side of town both Thursday and Friday. That is lucky because (1) we are old and boring and can't face the Valentine's Day date night crowds and (2) Cheesecake Factory is on his way home from that office. So, Thursday night was our V-Day and we put the kids to bed early, had a scrumptious candlelit CF take-out dinner, and watched Intolerable Cruelty that arrived via Netflix. It was perfect.
Saturday morning was Dallin's birthday party. I won't steal La Nan's thunder by posting a write-up of her party, but the kids had fun. Ryan enjoyed toting our niece, Eden, around.
Someone put The Three Amigos, wait, The Three Stooges, the brethren in charge of the pinata. By the end, poor pregnant La Nan was mauled by lots of candy-hungry little munchkins, while the brethren watched nonchalantly from above. :-D
Cute little Rhett.
Too bad I missed my chance to get a picture of him later, fetching a large kitchen knife so as to have fun popping birthday balloons. :-)
(Don't forget, La Nan's having another boy just in time for summer. hee hee)
The birthday boy got lots of new LEGOs to entertain him for quite awhile, so it was a good day.
I think that by the end, though, La Nan was having some familiar thoughts about kids' birthdays.
LaNan's having another baby....that's great! She's going to have her hands full with all those boys...but alot of fun too! I can't help but check her blog now and then from your site...her kids are adorable. My brother and his wife are having another little girl in April, and my SIL, Amy (Josh's sister) is having another boy in July! I'm ready for some more babies in my life (since we're done!). Wish Mauri and Dale would just tie the knot and start gettin' busy already! ;)
