opening birthday presents



Do you see a common theme in these photos? Yes, Thomas helped Meredith open her birthday presents. Her birthday party was late Saturday afternoon/early evening and the last guests didn't leave until after 7pm so we waited until the next morning to open gifts. She doesn't mind Thomas helping her. In fact, I think she probably prefers it that way. It was fun to watch her excitement which was a complete 180* from the holidays. This morning nearly every gift was opened with her exclaiming, "This is what I've been wanting!!" It was also fun to listen to Thomas because he's always so excited and happy for her. He'd also yell out things like, "Meredith, LOOK! This is what you've been wanting!!" He's so sweet to her, but I have to wonder what it'll be like in a few weeks when the birthday presents are for him. Will she be allowed to help him??

[Are you wondering where the birthday party photos are? Neither of us snapped a single photo. We were both just too busy with party prep and hosting to even remember to grab the camera. Fortunately, Mike did catch some stuff on video, like the pinata and birthday cake. One friend was taking photos so hopefully he took a few good ones we can share soon.]
