This year we made up for missing Tovar's first couple of birthdays by having an all out double birthday extravaganza. He had one party in the morning which several community people attended and
tigresa and family, and then a second after-nap birthday party.
The second party was huge, 30-40 people for a 3 yr old's birthday party! We had two sets of grandparents, several friends from Tovar's school, several friends of the family, some friends that I don't get to see very often (
is2disney), I got to finally meet
capitalism_yeah, and Tovar's NICU doctor came!!!! I love that woman :)
And the day didn't stop there. After the 2nd party, we went to dinner with my folks and were joined by
xleste, then we went home and the Baker-Malones came over, and then Tovar and I headed over to
tigresa's party across the way.
Tovar, being an extroverted three year old who likes sugar and toys, was in heaven :)
I was proud of my party throwing skills. It was the first time I'd hung streamers since I was a kid myself, Tovar loved the balloons that I picked out, and I felt that I did a good job hostessing, I hardly sat down during party # 2. I was very grateful for
beth_leonard's help when it came to cake cutting organization.
