The One With More Details

While we were visiting our families we were thrown two parties, well baby gator was thrown two parties and we were just invited.

The first of said parties was in the country at a beautiful garden market. And when I say beautiful, it is a big understatement. It is probably one of the few places that I can say every square inch was thought out, planned, and placed perfectly and not one detail should have been changed. The party was just as perfect! I was able to introduce my baby gator to so many great friends and family members; I loved every minute of it. There's something special about introducing your baby to your friends that you grew up with. Very special.

My mom, sister, and sister-in-law did a fantastic job of decorating and planning.

 

 

Everything was so sweet! Including my little gator....because he slept....the entire party.

Yep. That's baby gator. In a car seat. Sleeping. The entire party.
I also didn't realize until 10 minutes before the party was over that baby gator was still buckled in. (face palm)

 He didn't even wake up to see his new friend....my childhood best friend's baby who should have been born around the same week as baby gator, but I had a too excited baby ready to come out and she had chill baby that wanted to stay in. Come to think of it, that describes them both pretty well. Baby Gator =  not chill. Baby Meyer = chill.

 

We had an equally fantastic time at our second party in the city. Except this time, Mr. Gator was able to see all of his old friends and show off his little gator off. Everything was decorated cute and Mema even had a little picture game showing off their side of the family babies. I of course guessed most of them right.....just kidding I think I got 90% of them wrong, and the 10% I got right were of baby gator. It was also really neat seeing the books and toys Mr. Gator used to read and play with out for display.



 

 At this party baby gator decided he would be a little more lively and stay awake. However, as you can see from the picture below, he did not decide to smile....at all.

 

After awhile he decided to blow off the party and nap for this one too, at a time when he was not suppose to be napping, but we can't complain since there was very few tears.



 

 

I still can't believe just how bittersweet everything was. Each weekend we have a few more boxes packed, but still many more to fill. I realized today that exactly a month from now we will be in Texas for our last time until Christmas.
