Z's birthday party and Happy Mother's Day

Today was a BIG day for Zachary. We went to McDonald's around 1:30 to get everything set up. The theme was "Curious George" and we had the cutest cake ever! We had about 25 people there...including both of his nanas and papas, his great granddaddy, great aunts and uncles, cousins, godmother and godsister. Unfortunately Uncle Dave and Aunt Happy couldn't be there because they had a prior commitment. We really missed them but we knew that they wished they could be there. ;-))

Zachary had the time of his life. After we passed him around to everyone we decided to sing happy birthday and cut the cake. Zachary had his own little cake and after we sang to him, he planted his face in the cake. He was covered with icing. I kept turning the cake so that he could get more and more on him. He played in his cake for about 30 minutes or so. He was quite a sight but he was having SO much fun. We cut the other cake and passed it out meanwhile Zachary was still eating "his" cake. He was laughing and smiling the whole time. He loved it! Finally I took his cake away and got him cleaned up so that we could open presents. He got lots of great gifts, including a new high chair, money, building blocks, new books, sandals, a blanket that our aunt made for him that is just adorable, some bath toys and all kinds of other goodies. He has quite a stash of money now. It's all going in his college fund. I think he's up to $350 now. ;-)))

We have LOTS of great pictures and THANKS to Papa Sease we have an awesome video too. I will have to wait until I get home to post the pictures because they don't have the right connections here. I'll post those by Tuesday...I promise. ;-))

We have to head back to Charlotte either tomorrow evening or early Tuesday to get ready for his other birthday party with our friends. We are lookiing forward to that one too. Some of my friends are meeting Zachary for the first time. It will be very special.

This was the BEST Mother's Day EVER!!!! Hope all of you moms had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day!!!

Check back soon for pictures.....

HUGS,
