The Big Party

On Saturday, January 19th, we had a birthday party for Geoffrey. There were about 26 people there at one point or another. 5 of those people were under the age of 4. It was so much fun seeing G interact with all his little friends.

Kolby (cousin/9 mo.) was the only one still crawling so G made sure to get down and play with (tackle) him a little bit. He pretty much used him for a pillow for about a minute, but it was still super cute.

R to L: Arthur (daycare's grandson/almost 4), G, and Owen (EMCO friend/2.75)

fudgy browines, pumpkin bread, & double layer chocolate cake

1, 2, 3, GO!

this is what Daddy thinks about parties...hahahahaha..
Geoffrey and his friends really had a lot of fun.
There was a lot of tasty food and yes the theme (based on those hats on Big G's head...) was safari animals. Every little kiddo got a loot bag to take home...and a sippy cup of course. Unfortunately, Geoffrey has been sick ever since the party. :(
He's been the snot king...and really cranky...and then sometimes really ho-hum. Hurray for having a 2 year old now! We did it!
This picture is from the party last year. G & O have both gotten quite a bit bigger! It's great to see they can still have a good time together. We look forward to helping O celebrate turning 3 in April.

Go Pats!
That's what Geoffrey said.
Yes, they're wearing matching Moss jerseys.
We've been pretty busy recently. Gordon's on vacation this week so we started it out by going to the Castleton-Amherst hockey game last Friday, then going to the UMASS-UVM hockey game the following night. We stayed at the Dowd's (which is always a blast) and had great seats right about the Zamboni entrance. UVM & UMASS tied so I was happy. Gordon went to Smuggler's Notch on Monday. I think he's at Stowe today. Too bad it's kind of raining right now...but I'm sure he's having fun. Hope everyone is well and ready for the big game this Sunday. Oh, speaking of Sunday...(and church) we've had 5 responses for our pastor search! Hurray for online advertising with two magazines. Keep 'em comin'! Have a great rest of the week.
