on saturday, we threw will a birthday party for all of his friends,
gathered from play dates here and there.
it was a humble little party, at home, with a long table cloth and
paper napkins and a homemade cake and train-themed goody bags.
bunny crackers were served in festive cups and juice boxes were available for the grabbing.
everyone got a turn to hold the lightning mcqueen balloon and pull a string from the thomas pinata.
it was, i think, everything a third birthday party should be.
the gentle smile on his face as he scanned the room while everyone
sang him "happy birthday" was my favorite part of the whole day.
pure magic.
cake-eating was like a marathon sport for these kids.
quinn missed her morning nap and struggled to partake in the festivities.
she did enjoy her cake, though!
will hugged each one of his friends good bye as he handed out their goody bags.
at the end of the party, a guest commented, "will must have felt like a king."
in the very least, i know he felt loved, and that's enough for me.
