Ryan had his older cousins there and was running around like a crazy man because he was so excited. I can't believe he's 4 already: I remember holding him when he was just a day old and now he's this adorable little toddler who has an opinion about everything and isn't afraid to let you know about it! He's so outspoken and friendly and just plain adorable. It was so fun to be at his party because we weren't able to go last year. Here's a pic of him blowing out his cake w/ my sister and his brother Coley...
Anyway, it was Maelin's official first birthday party. We weren't sure if it would be too much stimulation for her because the place is pretty noisy and there's lots of flashing lights and people are running around, etc. She had a ball! She loved the train ride and we also put her on the merry go round, the ferris wheel and the whip. She was hilarious on the ferris wheel: Aunt Kat and Uncle Jeff were standing at the bottom and every time the wheel would go by them, she'd scream and squeal and laugh and had just the best time. Here's Maelin on the ferris wheel:
She totally knew how to ride the horse on the merry go round and the only time she got a bit nervous was on the whip...it was a bit fast for her. She didn't cry though: just kept her thumb in her mouth and looked at us like we were crazy. What a trouper!
We sang to Ryan and watched him open some presents, then we had to go take a nap because we had another bday party that night...(more on that later). Maelin fell right asleep when we got home: plumb tuckered out.
It was a good experience for Kevin and I to see what lies before us in the world of kids' birthdays. It's a fun time!
