Grandma was feeding Calvin some watermelon while we waited for Calvin's friend Van to arrive.
Instead of cooking we decided to order in from Famous Dave's, an American barbeque place. We ordered ribs, brisket, chicken, biscuits, and a bunch of sides. It was definitely a lot of food. And the whole house smelled like barbeque for a whlie.
While all of the grown ups ate the babies were busy playing. This time they almost seemed like they were actually playing with each other for a change, instead of just playing around each other.
At one point Phil was carrying both Calvin and Van around. He said he wanted more kids, so this is good practice for him. ^__~
Then it was time for Calvin's birthday cupcake, which he wasn't allowed to eat T__T. Poor Calvin. Maybe next year.
After all of the eating and playing there was a little napping. Maddy was so tired she fell asleep in her mom's arms.
Finally it was present opening time.
Calvin seemed more interested in the tissue paper and the boxes than the actual gifts themselves, but they did have fun trying to get the rolling dinosaur my mom bought out of the box.
Once all of the gifts were unwrapped the kids had fun playing with all of the toys. Maddy seemed to be having a blast.
A very low key party for his 1st birthday, but I think it turned out well. Besides, he wouldn't have remembered even if we did end up throwing him a big party, and I think he had just as much fun just hanging out with his cousin Maddy and his buddy Van. Maybe we'll have a bigger party for his 2nd birthday. ^__^
