Let's start with Thursday night. I had a girl's dinner and was super excited to get out of the house and enjoy some time with some great friends and celebrate one of their birthdays! We had a wonderful time and I came home and went to bed around 11:30 that night. Around 1:30 that morning, I woke up feeling terribly nauseous. You can imagine what happened next. I will spare you the details and just say that the next six hours were very, very unpleasant. I think it was food poisoning because I was better pretty quickly after that night, but it could have been a small bug. I felt better by Friday -- just tired and weak.
We decided to see how I felt throughout the day on Friday and decide about the party on Saturday morning. By Saturday morning, I was almost 100% so we went full steam ahead. And we had so much to do in a very little time! But I am so glad we did end up having it. The party was so much fun. We all felt well and had a ball!
We had a special visitor for Ben...
And he wanted nothing to do with him...
Luckily, lots of other kiddos enjoyed Santa!
And of course there was cake...
We had such a good time celebrating Ben! I told myself next year would be a bit more low key since it was a lot to handle with the holidays too, but I am thinking I already need to call Santa at the North Pole and book him for the big 2nd birthday! It really was fun to experience :). I am so happy we can now focus on Christmas coming up and spend the next week together as a family. We just have a few more presents to buy and we will be set. But first, caroling tonight on a hay ride in our neighborhood!
