We had a bunch of fun today! We celebrated David's birthday today; his birthday is actually this coming Wednesday, but there is just no time to try to celebrate through the week by the time we get home from work and get the boys changed, calmed, fed, bathed, re-fed and asleep. So, we had Dave's and my parents and my sister and her family over for a Sunday dinner (aka lunch). This was the first time we have hosted a "real dinner" at our house since the babies were born. I was a little nervous that I wouldn't get anything made, and that we'd have to order in pizza or chinese. But the babies were WONDERFUL this morning. I fed them and they fussed on and off for about 45 minutes before they went back to sleep until 11:00 (!). I still didn't have the food on the table when everyone got there, but I'm a little rusty at the cooking a big dinner thing.
Stan and Louise (Grandma and Grandpa) arrived first, and Grandpa was getting huge smiles from the boys right off the bat! The boys were thrilled to see Grandma and Grandpa!

Next, Jen, Ryan and Michael showed, followed shortly thereafter by Nana and Poppy. For lunch, we had a roast, mashed potatoes, gravy (that Stan liked), roasted veggies, crescent rolls, and crudite (that no one ate, or so I think). Alex has really started grabbing things today. Here, he is holding a bow from one of David's gifts.
The boys had a good time and were loved up by everyone! David enjoyed his birthday and got lots of great gifts! He even enjoyed the cakes (store bought - bad, bad wife). Yes, there were two - chocolate with white icing and a german chocolate cake. The boys were quite happy when Nana stayed to give them baths.
It was a fun day, and we're all tired now!
