Lots of Family and Lots of Fun! 3/15-24/2013

During Bodhi's Birthday week, we had a house filled with family, friends, and love!
3-15 Grandma and Papa arrived from California to celebrate Bodhi's Birthday Week
3-16: Bodhi brought Mama T, Grandma and Papa to Green Genes to have lunch and visit with Mommy.




March 17, St Patrick's Day, Bodhi donned his green, and we spent a good chunk of the day preparing for his Birthday on the 18th.
Chef Grandma and Sous Chef Papa made a great team in the kitchen, working on his first Birthday cake.
No cake making adventure would be complete without the obligatory tasting of the frosting. 
Bodhi was quite the fan!
While the bakers did their work in the kitchen, Mama T and Bodhi dove into a pile of books, while Mommy H started working on Bodhi's Birthday shirt for the next day.

 March 18, Bodhi's First Birthday! But there's a whole blog post dedicated to that...


March 19, I worked, but was able to sneak away for a delicious sushi lunch with mom and dad.
Really, is there ever such a thing as too much sushi. I think not.

March 20,  Mama T's sister, Aunt Yaya Anna, arrived just in time to celebrate her birthday. 
Early morning with Papa and Grandma. Bodhi loves looking out the window to see the neighborhood  birds, cars, and people out walking their pups. 

Anna and Tina, sisters long overdue for a one-on-one relaxing visit and catch up time :)

So much love for Auntie Yaya Anna on her Birthday

Happy Birthday Auntie Yaya! Bodhi says "YES! more cake!"

Even on Anna's Birthday, Bodhi still had some gifts to open from his birthday. He received a dump truck and puzzles from his cousin, Ashton.  And, all the way from the Craiks in Australia, he received a kangaroo backpack and some lovely storybooks. 
He was quite enthralled by it all!


March 22, the day before Bodhi's big party, was spent with family, engaged in
more pre-party activities.


We were all impressed with Grandma's cake-making skills. This larger one was made for Bodhi's Birthday party the following day. Rawr!

And of course, Bodhi helped out as well.
