Happy Birthday Landon (and to me!)

We went to L + O's godparents yesterday to celebrate their nephew Landon's 7th birthday. It was a lot of fun and great food--although John and I tried to just "sample" the food, as Eileen and Chuck offered to babysit so John could take me out to a belated birthday dinner.


Eileen + Chuck's house, full of people--Eileen's mom Vicky, their children Peter and Daniella, Eileen's brother Mike, his wife Tara and their 3 kids live in it--but it's so huge it could probably fit even more :) Their food was as always, delicious. I am planning regular trips to learn some new recipes, specifically their lumpia and pansit filipino dishes.





Lots of fun playing with the kids and all their toys!


"I'd jump in if I were wearing something else!"--John took me to buy this dress earlier as another birthday gift :)




After the waterballoon fight, we had cake--a buffalo cake, because that's Landon's 2nd favorite animal lol.





Pete and Cameron :)





After Landon opened his gifts, (lots of Legos!--i think his favorite was ours...lego racers--john knew it would be a hit) John and I went to a local restaurant for my "birthday" dinner. I had a grecian pizza, which was okay, but the sauce was full of wine--I could've gotten drunk! John had a seafood platter. We quickly came back as I was worried Olivia was whiney or Lucas missed us. I was wrong on both counts :)


It was a fun time and I am so grateful to have Eileen and Chuck as L + O's godparents. Lucas is so comfortable with them--he even gave Eileen a kiss (unsolicited!) after mass!
Oh Eileen also bought him this cute jacket from LL Bean--perfect for this fall's trip!
