Speaking of Graham's Birthday party, here's the main man himself!
He had a nice little party! I wrote up a shhhedule a couple years ago that gives each child a big party and a little party on alternating years. With four kids, one starts to feel a little guilty inviting all the friends and family over every couple months for a party. I thought it would be good to change it up a bit so there are usually only 2 big parties a year. So this was his little party, and it was just lovely. He collects nutcrackers, so he chose a nutcracker theme. Sure made my decorating job SUPER easy!!
And to top it off, he seriously received all the gifts he'd asked for. He's wanted a lizard for years, so we got him a setup and he got a couple pet store gift cards. Alif & the big boys are out now procuring the creature. I'm sooo excited. :-X He got not one but two cool watches, not one but two awesome nutcrackers, a guitar, a book that looks right up his alley, fabric to sew with, money for a camera - he is really a happy little guy today. And nine - I'm still in disbelief.
Waiting for pictures of the gecko!

Yay, Emily! You are so brave to do this right BEFORE Christmas. (Brave, or crazy. Oops, did I type that out loud?) Woohoo! You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry we didn't get to celebrate at park day with Graham! I'm glad he had a nice birthday -- I love his Nutcracker theme! That is so cute!
I can't wait to read all about your WW journey. So exciting, and it already sounds like you are doing great!! We'll all be here to encourage and cheer you on as much as we can!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Graham :)
ReplyDeleteAnd WTG Emily on day 3! You can do it sweets!
Emily, I agree, so brave to begin this right before the holidays, but then again, by the time that new years comes along, you will be ready for the clean slate. I wish you all the best and will think of ways that I can support you. I can really say now that I have been on South Beach since March that I have kicked my sugar (and therefore food) addiction- and it is the best feeling ever! You can do it- every day is a new day and if you just keep plugging away at it, you really really can do it!
ReplyDeletewe had fun at the party!
