Happy Second Birthday: The Party

We were finally awake enough to throw a birthday party in the Stuber house this weekend!

Here we are the morning of practicing with our tea party hats, which we entirely forgot once the party got started.

And mom and dad's gift came a little before the party to lure people out of the house for a few minutes.

It was well received.

And Alida is very picky about visitors, but it may be the roaring fire raging on a back-to-the-90's weekend that is stopping her from inviting more people into her cottage increasing the temperature even more.

Did you really turn two already?

The cottage was a hit, and Emily even came by for the housewarming.

And Aunt Cynthia was there to give love--even in the midst of an on-going house debacle of her own.

And nanny Jenny and Aunt Anna came with Georgia. And Aunt Kate drove all the way from Kansas!

The ladies weren't particularly sure what to do with their cakes that were on fire, but Nicholas and Benjamin helped them out.

And then at the end, we remembered that we actually had some tea party stuff...

And Nanny Jenny's Georgia was a peach.

And Emily was an old-hand at dressing the part and being a lady.

And not that we celebrated or anything,

but then the party was over. And we sat down for a few minute in the wreckage of every one's good wishes.

Grandma Cheri even sent some things for the boys.

And Nicholas relaxed in what we are now calling the hot tub.

...before donning his superhero garb of course for the next adventure.

It was a hot but lovely day, thank you to everyone for making it so much fun.
