Evan had the most amazing turn out at his birthday party on sunday!
The party started @ 1pm and the first few to show up were some of my relatives that I haven't seen in awhile and it was very surprising! Even though I invited everyone on my facebook account that lived in the area, I found that the people I thought wouldn't come-came and the people I thought would come- didn't. Weird huh?
Anyway... we started out with hot dogs and burgers on the grill, tapped the root beer keg and then all the kids started swimming in Evan's new pool that we got him. We had water balloon fights, squirt gun fights, pirate sword fights, and we played hillbilly horseshoe and cornhole, then we all got into a silly string fight in the front yard (that uncle brad gifted). We opened all presents and had cake.
I made Evan a pirate ship cake! It turned out pretty detailed and the moistest cake I've had in awhile!
We finished up with a pinata and wined down with more swimming.
After some poeple left and more people came, Evan opened more gifts and we all went inside out of the hot weather (it was about 92* allday). I think I turned on the A/C about an hour into the party.
It was nice to have all the Graham family there too, it's been awhile since the 'rents and grand'rents have seen Evan, unfourtunately.
Everyone left but Heather, Trent and the kids which was nice cause it got us a chance to visit. After a couple hours of no one else showing up I decided to start picking up the back yard. Wes had mentioned that this was the busiest party he has ever hosted and he wondered if he even was able to say hi to anyone....I just laughed!
Wait until next year...
