Birthday Party #2 with the Hayes

Grayson is quite experienced now with birthday parties. There were no tears when the cake came out and I had to blow the candle out quickly as he tried to grab the flame. He ate his whole piece of cake and the presents were, once again, a big hit!

Grayson had so much fun with his cousins, Noah and Sophie. He needed a few more days to get used to all the sweet hugs Noah had to offer. Sometimes he would get scared and cry as Noah came towards him!
We were so thankful to have everyone here! Ryan, Kari, and their kids had a wreck on the way down and then Kari broke her foot early Saturday morning as she was letting the dogs out!! It was quite a weekend for them!! But they were in good spirits and we had a good time regardless of the circumstances.

Poor Auntie Kari with her broken foot!! Please pray for her as she has to manage a 6 month old and a 22 month old at home over the next 6-8 weeks!!

Noah helped the guys build a fire--I'm still not sure why they decided to do that?!
Here's the 3 cousins ready for a walk.

On Sunday afternoon, we all drove 45 minutes up the road to see the grandparents. It was a nice visit with Grandmother and Granddaddy. Grayson was able to show them all of his tricks--they loved it!


So finally the partying is over and I can take down the birthday decorations! Grayson is really going to miss the balloons--it seems to be all he has wanted to talk about the past few weeks. He'll just point and say "b" "b".
This afternoon Aunt Bonnie is coming to stay for a few days! So we've got more company! Yay!
