A few weekends ago Nicky was a hot commodity - in the little girl's birthday party arena that is. We had back-to-back parties - Sophie's on Saturday; Jade's on Sunday. Little background info: Jade is the granddaughter of our good friend, and neighbor, Sue. Her daughter, Lauren, her husband and Jade (and now new addition Tyler who's soo cute!) moved in with Sue last year after he lost his job. Sue's son also lives at home, so I'm sure there's never a dull moment in their house! Here's a pic of the birthday girl and her Momma...
And one of Momma snuggling with the sweet baby (3 weeks old at the time of this pic) Tyler (and, no, it does not make me want one...don't even think about asking!)...
Anywho...Jade's birthday was the exact opposite of Sophie's shindig. Where Sophie's had music and jumping and climbing and running and general amounts of ballyhoo. Jade's was quiet, laid-back, mostly adults with a smattering of little ones - like this cutie here - don't know her name - she was one of Lauren's friend's little girls (got that?)...
Sophie's had water, and cake, and snacks, and the dreaded clowns. Jade's had wine (don't worry...we only let the kids have 1 glass each...KIDDING!), and pizza, and salad, and cheese and crackers. If I had to sum it up in a word - Jade's was quite sophisticated! I suppose when you're two, that's the kind of party parents can have. I wish all Nicky's parties could be like that. But, alas, he's already told us he wants several of his friends to attend the big #4 (yikes!), and he wants either animals or boats involved.
Here's Nicky sporting the pizza we somehow failed to wipe off his face after dinner...
Don't get me wrong, both parties were a lot of fun, but I guess if you had to ask either Nicky or me which one was the best, you'd probably get 2 different answers.
At least there was cake...Nicky's favorite thing to eat right now...he even had cupcakes for snack the next day at school!
