The celebration continues

Since Gaga, Linda and Leland were all in town for Karsten's birthday, Shannon invited all of us over for dinner. Karsten had quite the captive audience - both sets of grandparents AND a great grandma. Sounds like a sure fire recipe for an evening of spoiling.

Entertaining Linda and Gaga with his plastic dishes - he said 'my fork, my poon, my pate'.

Then was had some drama when a wooden car fell on Karsten's foot. He cried and cried - he got hugs from papa and daddy. I tried to give hugs and kisses but he went right for his grandmas and Gaga and got plenty of hugs, kisses and sympathy. He had even stopped crying but turned the tears back on when he got into the kitchen.

Then it was time for dinner and more birthday cupcakes.

I think he enjoyed them - don't you?

Shannon and Karsten have a new game called sweep. He saw the broom in their garage one day after they came back from a walk and the game was born. They have the cleanest driveway in the neighborhood. He is very particular about which broom he uses - he also assigned a broom to Scott and Chuck.

Then it was time for a broom switcheroo - everyone rotated brooms.

It was a fun evening - when we took Karsten home he was one sleepy boy. He needed to get a good night sleep to prepare for his birthday party the next day!
