Happy 4th Birthday Greg!

It feels like we celebrated Greg's birthday for weeks, which was fine with him. First, my parents came down for a day to celebrate and bring him his presents since for medical reasons (my Mom's hip replacement) they were going to miss his actual birthday and his party. Then the gift from cousin Perry arrived in the mail the week of his birthday, which was also the week Todd was traveling for work, so I let G open it early. It ended up being a huge help that week, because they sent a game that both boys loved and we played it a lot while Todd was gone. Then Gma Janet and Papa Delmar came down on Saturday to celebrate. And church friends sang to him on Sunday. And then finally on Wednesday we had his friend's party!

Yes, Wednesday. Because weekends are so busy right now, this seemed like the best option. It forced me to make a tough choice of not inviting everyone in his class (mainly because Greg did not want older siblings there except for his and one other friend). But I'll admit that I felt guilty about not inviting "everyone" for weeks. But anyway, it ended up being a low key, smaller, younger crowd, and boy was it fun!

The slide seemed "freshly greased" and it was FAST! The kids (and some Moms) loved it!

Then we went to the party room for baseball cupcakes (per request):
And opening presents in the large chair. G was also given a crown and scepter, but he chose not to wear/hold those.
It was a wonderful few weeks of celebrating Greg's Birthday. Happy Birthday Greg!
