Wow. Months ago when we decided to combine Ellie's party and the Marathon, we didn't think it was a big deal that it meant delaying her party 2-1/2 weeks. In reality, it means it's felt like her birthday has gone on forever. It's been a fun forever, but it's finally time to retire the Birthday Crown.
Whew, what a day! Bess' cheering section arrived promptly at nine for cider donuts and coffee. Todd's "Go Bess!" signs were exquisite. Someone better send me a picture so I can post it. Ellie, in that magical way only babies can, fell asleep on Brian's back while cheering. Nothing fazes that girl.
Back at the house for the party proper, we feasted on quiche and latkes, while Ellie patiently waited for Maggie and her cupcakes to arrive. Finally! The moment was upon her!
(A plastic dinosaur appetizer, naturally.)
Yay! Cupcake!Thanks to everyone who came out to help us celebrate the big day, and for spoiling E rotten with all your love and presents. Feel free to come back tonight and help us finish the keg!
Post Note: not only did Bess run yesterday, she ran a 3:32 and qualified for Boston! Run Bess Run!
