House Warming / Mommy Birthday Party

We finally had out house warming party, we were hoping it would have been a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the yard, but we had fun anyway.  Robbie had fun walking around socializing, he really enjoyed the cake we had for mommy's birthday.

 Leo Mesenger, Robbie's favorite friend, turned a magnificent one year old January 24.  To help him celebrate his strength in the force, friends and family gathered to celebrate in a Star Wars themed party.  Matt was in Florida on business, so it was just the two of us.  There were quite a few little ones there, and as usual, Robbie had no interest in the boys.  Sorry guys.  After socialization, we all lined up and ate the Star Wars goodies.  Robbie really enjoyed the guacamole dip and kept trying to steal cookies.  At one point, he had an audience of grandmothers, grandfathers, and admirers watching Robbie as he learned different ways to wave at everyone.  There was the hi wave, the Miss America wave, the Pope wave, and he even bowed when he was done!  Then there was the pop quiz where we all had to answer questions to see how well we knew Leo.  Instead of cake, they had Lion Cake Pops - little pops of cake dipped in chocolate and designed to look like lions.  Gifts were also opened, and we made sure they got to see our wonderful Lion chair.  Robbie has a matching one that I hope the boys will get to enjoy when they get bigger.  Before we left, we ended up getting a few nice pictures of Robbie, Claire, and Leo sitting together with balloons and mothers.  The Kent State Babies! Robbie slept so hard on the (now) short drive home he didn't even wake up when we stopped by Grammie's house and instead slept on the floor for over an hour before a cat stepped on him and woke him up.  The party was a success - Happy Birthday Leo! 

Daddy was there... on Robbie's shirt! 

Robbie's 1st Birthday!

We celebrated Robbie's first birthday.  we were originally going to do it on Friday the day after his actual birthday, but then I realized that was the day of my high school class reunion.  It went great I think everyone enjoyed themselves, I think there were about 30 people at our house.  No one could believe we had just moved in four days before, it was crazy busy to get done (having Kelly's family here really helped) but it was worth it.  Robbie wasn't the most social he's ever been but he was dealing with a lot with the move, and all the people that were around, so he was very clingy to mom, dad, and grammy.  

Here are a few pictures below, you can look in the "Photo Gallery" on the right side for more pictures.

Chris's house warming party

My brother Chris got a house and we attended his house warming party.  Chris got to hold him for a little bit, and the girls at the party were very could keep their eyes off him. 

Who are you again?
