Birthday Party Take 2

Luke really wanted to throw another (small) birthday party for Tracen with as many of his Aunts and Uncles and cousins that could be there... (which really isn't that small).  I had wanted to throw a cute fun party for him, but felt like I wouldn't be able to do it with budget and time and not having amazon.com to order things from.  But - we did it!  And it turned out really great.

Thank you to all my helpers this week.  




We ate all of Tracen's favorite foods (an idea inspired by something Angie had told me).  Banana cake, squash in a quinoa salad, chicken in curry chicken salad, etc etc and of course corn on the cob.  He was happy to sit and eat and spent most of his party doing just that.








He was too busy eating to care that he was by himself.


He was spoiled by everyone and we are so grateful for such generous family.






Takahashi Family: Missing Angie, Mike, Brylie, Tyken,  Meika, Jamie



Allred Family: Missing Cassie, Spencer, Trisha, Hudson, Jared
 Tracen loved all the attention and of course, eating his cake  icing.



We enjoyed being at the park, throwing the football, playing on the swings, with bubbles and a fire that Papahashi built was the perfect way to end the night and stay warm.

Happy Birthday Tracen!
