Kirby's Birthday Party.

Sorry about the delay! Here are the much awaited (I just know it) pictures of Kirby's 1st birthday. We had a great time. Kirby was in good spirits the whole evening and was, I'm sure, completely unaware that it was all for him. He was just happy to be fed.

The Rubber Ducky Birthday Cake. The duck is sitting in a bath of blue Jello surrounded by marshmallow & icing "soap bubbles". I really don't know what possessed me.
Here's our little Star of the Show. I didn't want him to have a "foofy" birthday hat so I was quite please to find this simple and oh-so-manly birthday cap. Combined with the shirt he's wearing the boy just screams "trucker".
Mmm...nothing like a duckyhead on your tray.
Yeah! Duckyhead is yummy! Kirby signs "more". Gimme more duckyhead!
The Guests. Almost everyone who was invited made it out for the party. I was unable to secure a loan from the bank to pay the $55,000 Kevin Federline requires to make an appearance but, alas, maybe next year.

Nothing really going on in this picture. I'm just mighty proud of how clean my floor looks. This doesn't happen very often so I take my moments when I can. We now return you to the regularly scheduled birthday party.
Kirby's loot. Everyone was more than generous and spoiled Kirby more than they should. :) Thank you everyone!

Mommy does the honors as Kirby recoups from ducky head overdose. London and her friends are eager to help in any way they can.
London kept asking me when it was going to be her birthday. 3 1/2 yr olds don't quite get the concept of certain days only coming around once a year. She'll get it eventually. In the meantime, I have the honor of breaking her little heart everyday by telling her, "No, Sweetie, it's still not your birthday".
All in all, it was great fun! Thanks to Grammy Mary, Papa Paul and Daddy for helping make it a great success. I couldn't have put it all together without your help. There's a reason I'll only do this every five years, ya know!
