Tommy's Second Birthday Party! Part 2

Part Two: The People

We invited pretty much everyone in our guest book because last year was semi-disastrous what with the Hand Foot and Mouth and the face rash.  So this year's party was supposed to be somewhat of a redemption.  So we invited everyone thinking also that since it's December, a lot of people would probably be sick.  When the RSVPs starting coming in, I didn't think anything of it.  Then about a week before the party, I started total them up and holy crap, we could have 50 people! YIKES! 

Then as December goes, many people got sick the week of and we ended up with a much easier number of 30.  Phew! Still quite a raging party though.  Here are the peeps that we captured some pictures of... 

 We've got Doug, Erin, Aunt Jenny, Susan, Hattie (on the floor), Pop and Uncle Adam playing some Coffee house background music. :)

 We set up Andrew's office with a rug and a table because we need more spots for people to consume the grub (hot dogs! Tommy's fave! with chili and cheese, etc.).  Here are Kevin, Mandy, Traci and Maria.  Hey Maria, Doogie Howser called and he wants his pager back.  Andrew told that joke at the party and then admitted that he had waited 5 minutes for me to come back in the room before he told it because he wanted me to hear it.  Now that's romance, folks! :)

 Here's my dad, Lilli and Isabel at the table set up in the dining room.

 Here's the crowded kitchen! Grandma Katie, Shiela, Andrew, me and Steph (or Steeeeef, whichever you prefer).

The Play Room was crowded all day.  The Deichmans came and brought their 4 and 3 year olds, Joe and Elizabeth.  You can also see Katie and Harper in the background. 

 You can see Claire and Hattie (well you can barely see Hattie).  My brother Brandon and my aunt Shiela in the background.  Then Erin, Doug and Aunt Jenny in the foreground.

 Mandy thought something about the gift opening was funny.

 Then Maria apparently caught on and laughed too.

 Tommy's Godmother Traci was there too. His Godfather Travis was also there but the only picture I got of him was just half of his face in a cake picture.

Tommy got a sweet Batman mask from Maria and Mandy. Tommy thought it was hilarious when Grandpa put it on.  He's right.

Wyatt was there but I'm sure you already knew that.  Tommy's not going to have a party without Wyatt being involved.  But I wanted to post this picture because I thought it was funny.  I have no clue what is going on here. 

We were worried about Tommy being timid in front of so many people at the party but he totally loved the limelight. We shouldn't be surprised since he came from two limelight-lovers.  But we were.  He loved making everyone laugh while opening gifts.  What a cutie.
