Peyton and I had quite the busy weekend. Friday night we went to Chuck E. Cheese. Peyton had a good time playing games and he didn't want to leave, even though it was approaching his bed time. He told everyone that would listen to him about Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday, so he must have really enjoyed himself.
We had two parties to go to on Saturday. The first was a baby shower for my friend Tahis. We went to school together from 3rd to 5th grades (you know, forever ago!) The shower started at 1:00, which wasn't quite ideal, because that is when Peyton normally takes a nap. Fortunately, he fell asleep on the way to the shower. Unfortunately, it was held in Columbia, which was only a 20 minute drive. But, he did really well at the shower. Isn't he cute!?
There was a ladybug theme for the shower, because Tahis is doing her little girl's room in ladybugs. Peyton was totally in love with the cake. It is super adorable. He often wandered over to it and just stared at it in awe. He was heartbroken when we didn't get any cake before we left (we had to leave early and they didn't cut it yet).
While we waited for the guest of honor to arrive, I read Peyton books. Thankfully we brought plenty of them with us. He sat really still at the table listening to stories. I got several complements from the other guests on how well behaved he was being. I was very happy that he was being so good because I know he was tired and bored. Anyway, Tahis arrived a little later and walked around greeting all of her guests. She's beautiful!
After Tahis got settled, the food was served. It was a brunch-type meal. There was a fruit tray, cheese tray, Cesar salad, bread and croissants, bacon, sausage, and a made-to-order omelet station with a chef. The food was tasty! Peyton ate a ton. After the food, we played several games like Baby Shower Bingo. Unfortunately, we had to leave early to get to our second party, so we didn't even get to see Tahis open any of her gifts. Here we are, as I was leaving.
Next, Peyton and I headed up to a restaurant called Enotria in Forest Hill for a dinner to celebrate Austin's confirmation which was Friday night. Again, Peyton fell asleep on the way to the restaurant, which was an hour away, so I think he felt a little more refreshed when we got there. Peyton was happy to spend some time with my parents, Kim, Bo, Dougie, Nadean, Vester, Austin, and Aunt Bev. He was quite the social butterfly, as usual. The service at the restaurant left much to be desired, but the food was good. I forgot to take pictures at the restaurant. Oops. We left dinner around 7:00 and didn't get home until after 8:00. Peyton needed to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (of course) and then it was bed time. It was a super busy, tiring, but fun day.
