Erika's Birthday Gathering

Even though Erika's birthday is not till June 3rd, she has been celebrating for weeks already! Yesterday we had Peters father & Pat over and Michelle and her family. We had debated back and forth about having the traditional "Big First Birthday Blow Out." For economic reasons and lack of space at the house, we decided against a party. We kinda thought Erika getting a swing set and her birthday weekend away (this weekend) to see Laurie Berkner would be enough to replace a party.

So although yesterday was a small amount of people we had a GREAT time. The babies played on the swing set and went in the pool. We kept the menu simple - hot dogs & burgers. Michelle baked an AMAZING cake! I had such an nice time and I believe Erika did too.Also, Erika received some incredible gifts! There will be more on the gifts in a future post.
