The birthday party was almost like a dream come true. I sat back in the room and watched a group of sweet, giggling kids blow horns, make art and eat huge pieces of cake. Then they rumbled over who got the reds balloons, stomped their feet and ran out of the place laughing and sorting through their goodie bags.

The laughter and playfulness were precious. I've got tons of silly photos. They are the best.

Seriously, how did we ever get so lucky?

I am so blessed.
