Tommy had a Kung-Fu Panda Party

Big Happy Smiles To say the least... it was quite difficult photographing 4 children Delicious, Hudson! We're back from Ohio and we had a blast. The weather wasn't great but it certainly didn't ruin our time. We spent lots of time as a family. Elizabeth and Mark were great hosts as always. We were even able to spend extra time with Mark being that it was a holiday weekend. One rainy night we took the short trip to the brand new IKEA. Wow, what a marvelous time we had! We were brave and brought all of the kids. We didn't arrive until 7pm so we really were quite brave! We had 3 adults and 4 kids shopping. We picked up a few fun items and are ready to go back for more! There is such a huge selection of fun stuff for the home. Tommy's Birthday was a complete success. Panda cupcakes and Mai Tai punch were on the menu. The oriental salad and teriyaki chicken skewers were yummy. Elizabeth is quite the party planner. The fireworks were fun for everyone. Even Hudson watched the ENTIRE show without making a peep. Payton's favorite were the pink fireworks. Now it's back to cleaning up the house and de-cluttering. Hudson is on the move and crawling EVERYWHERE. He's enjoying his freedom by pulling himself up on anything he can find. Payton and Hudson are still buddies. Payton has been great at entertaining Hudson in the car. This is a big help to me!
