Gifts

Last night we had an awesome party for Callie Grace, as she turned two yesterday. (!!!)  Really, the party was more for the adults, and I love hosting parties, and I’m always trying to come up with a reason to get a bunch of people to come over (is that a southern thing?).  We had a houseful, and we had a blast.  Callie was a bit overwhelmed by all the people.  She’s more of a wade into the water slowly kind of girl, not the jump into the deep end kind.  Slowly she got accustomed to it, except when she sat in her highchair with 50 people singing “Happy Birthday” to her.  The look she had on her face was priceless, and I will have pictures up soon.

I’m also happy to report that while Callie Grace made a haul with some great gifts, there were also some gifts for Philip and myself as well, unintended as they may have been.  Callie got a Little People Nativity set that I immediately claimed as my own, and I have very reluctantly let her touch the pieces.  On facebook a few people commented that this particular nativity scene was annoying because when you push the angel on the top of the stable, the star lights up and a song plays.  Obviously, this would never irritate me because, let’s face it, I go a little absurd about Christmas anyways.  Philip on the other hand scored with this cool Wiggles book that comes with a microphone.  You can pick the song you want to sing along to, hit the number, and go to town.

We were blessed by all the friends who really are now family that came, and nobody even commented on the ridiculous amount of Halloween decorations I have put up, which was lovely of them.

Now I have to go put baby Jesus back where he belongs, as he is currently sitting on the floor of the kitchen next to a half-eaten cupcake.  Should I be worried? 🙂
