Monkey Man Turns One!

It was a success! We hosted Gardner's birthday party last Saturday and had such a fantastic turn out of family and friends. Everyone around me was incredibly helpful, from Jerry vacuuming and power washing, to my mom making her delicious spinach salad, to my mother-in-law running to the store for some last minute food. Take a look at some of the photos!

The Perfect Surprise

Over the weekend, Jerry, Gardner, and I attended a surprise party for Jerry's best friend, Marcus.  The most difficult part of a surprise party is keeping it a surprise.  I'm usually terrible at keeping surprise parties a surprise.  I always manage to forget that the person doesn't know about the party.  Lucky for me, we don't see Marcus that much, so there was less opportunity to spoil the surprise.  It was worth it!
