Aurora Borealis

Our little shindig for Agent Murphy went well.  He seemed to really enjoy himself, and it was good to see some of our friends.  (We were shame-faced when we realized we hadn’t seen Aunty M. since The Agent’s first birthday party.  Yikes!)  And a new friend — Chef Knight from All Saints and his son G. (age 5) joined us, too.  G. was being shy, though.  He didn’t want cake or to blow bubbles.  At least he had some root beer.

The Agent, of course, was not shy about food.  He dug right into his piece of carrot cake, and tried to eat off the big cake plate.  He and Aunty M. and Aunty N. and A. went out on the deck and played with the bubble bucket from Uncle RW and Aunt S.  The Agent appears to have had a blast. I. slept through the party again, just like last year — but this time in The Agent’s bed instead of the playpen.

The Agent got some cool loot, too.  In addition to the bubble bucket, he got some really cute Christmas PJs and a children’s book about the real St. Nicholas from Uncle R. and family.  G. and his twin sister M. (who didn’t come to the party because she was arguing about what she could or couldn’t wear) got him a fun See-n-Speak, which is awesome because just the other day I was thinking that’s something we should get the Agent to help him with his sounds.  And Aunty N. and family got him a Play-Doh activity kit, which has him really fascinated.  Maybe we’ll dive into it tomorrow or one day this coming week.  Aunty N. always picks great presents, I guess because she has such good “product testers” to help her!

And we got to start a new page in our guestbook for our new house.

Definitely a happy birthday party.
