Her Birthday was so much fun. It was great to see everyone come and support this little ones life. Thank you to everyone who came to the party and for those who were not able to show up because of previous engagements or distance we know you were there in spirit.
We celebrated audrey's birthday a day early on the 19th instead of the 20th because my mom and sister michelle were leaving to drive to california the next day. I think that my uncle gary was going to be coming in on Friday or Saturday and they wanted to be there to spend time with him. Anyways, Like i said it was a bunch of fun.
The party started and 7 and everyone was pretty much on time. which was nice. The guest list was Mom, Michelle, Grandma and grandpa griffin, Jenny and Jason, Carrie and her fiance, Pam, Joyce, and melissa. (Am i missing anyone.) For the first 45 minutes or so we spent a lot of time talking and catching up. Pretty much everyone who was there i had not seen in months it was great to catch up. I really am a cave person if i can not see people for months at a time. Oh well, I like my cave life.
I don't think audrey really understood what was going on. I think she was a little nervous about a flaming cake coming after her while everyone sings a chant. If you didn't know any better you could mistake it as a sacrificial ritual. (Poor sacrificial birthday cake. Has no idea of the terror to come.)
Of course we gave audrey the biggest piece of the night. And she ate the cake in true audrey style. Head first! Serious she went head first into the cake. She had cake and frosting everywhere. and i mean everywhere. You have to be a talented baby to get the stuff in your ear. Once in a while she would come up for air and eat with her hand for a minute but then would decide to resort back to head first. I think that it was one of the funniest things i have seen. We have a bunch of pictures of it but i am not sure that we have any video. I will try and track that down. I hope we do.
Other than the cake i think that audrey loved opening up her gifts the most. She loves boxes and paper. She tore that stuff off so fast. You would swear that she had done it before. Oh wait she has. Every paper that is left lying around the apartment is torn to shreds. You would think that I would have learned by now to get that out of her reach. I'm a little slow.
I made a grave mistake that night and forgot to write down what Audrey got as presents from people and since her birthday is so close to Christmas all the gifts seem to mesh together. Sorry, I do remember a few gifts. Jen and Jason: Audrey loves the walker thing. Pam: the towel so cute. Thanks for taking the time to embroider that. Arlene thank you for the bear. I don't think that my mom will let audrey play with that. Grandma the doll is so cute and Audrey loves her. To everyone who gave her clothing. It is awesome. I love it. We got so many outfits that i don't have to go clothes shopping for a long time.
I think it was a great party and again thank you for everyone coming to the party and showing your support.
Love, Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey.
