happy 4th

 
Gus's birthday did not go as planned. Due to the predicted blizzard we decided to reschedule his highly anticipated Go Diego Go pizza party and our visit form Grammy and Grandpa. Poor Gus went to bed last night insisting that the weatherman was wrong and that it was not going to snow. But when he woke us up at 4 am this morning asking when his friends were coming, we already had 1/3 of the 28.5 inches that would fall. It was a long day. Thank goodness for TV, new marble track extension set and mustard and ketchup sprayers, baking, and our neighbors and Raj who came over for a birthday supper. We thought the day would be torture for all of us, but we ended up having a lot of fun and Gus seemed perfectly happy with his dinner party of adults and boys Theo's age. After supper he even drew me a thank you note. So sweet.

 
Teaching Theo to frost.

 
Oh, Theo.

 
Finally using the candle that he picked out at General Dollar back in November.

 
"Happy birthday dear Gussy, happy birthday to you/"

 
Amy, Julian and Josh from across the street. Charles and Jessie, Meri and Max, and Raj were here, too.

 
We're really into candles.
