This week was a fun one as we celebrated my birthday (sans photos of me) and celebrated Griffin’s 4th birthday a bit early with his party over the weekend! The tradition of a bunny birthday cake continues as this year Finn and Kevin picked up the necessary ingredients (cake and frosting) from Giant Eagle and iced and decorated the cake for me while I got to watch. Griffin really enjoyed it, especially the sampling of the frosting as you can see.  Over the weekend we had Finn’s birthday party at the Bounce Club in Powell. He along with 17 of his friends bounced around like ping pong balls for an hour and then we sat down for pizza and some Ninja Turtle Cake. He definitely burned some energy! After the party we headed back to our house to open gifts with all the grandparents and family.  Later that evening we had a progressive dinner with 3 of our neighborhood friends. It was a mexican theme that started with appetizers and drinks at our house (taquitos, chips and salsa/homemade guacamole, and various beers, mexican sodas, and margaritas). Next up we headed to Brian and Lisa’s for soup and salad (jalapeno popper chili – yum!) and then on to Bernie and Alex’s house for the main course of build-your-own enchiladas and tacos. Yummers! Our final stop was at Nate and AJ’s for tasty churros and ice cream. All of the kids had so much fun playing together all evening. Start to finish it was probably 4 or 5 hours. It was a nice time to  have a casual hang out with our neighbors and get to know each other more. We’ve really enjoyed having new neighbors in our neighborhood and especially loving that they have kids. It is so nice for Griffin to be able to go outside and play with other kiddos! Here the boys are praying before their meal 🙂
