Today Griffin had 2 more birthday parties! The first party of the day was to celebrate "King" Legend's 3rd birthday. Legend's party had a Mardi Gras theme and was on the uptown streetcar. It was such a fun idea. Kenton has been really wanting to take Griff for a ride on the street car and this was the perfect way to do it! We rode the streetcar in style! We met at the station and boarded the party car! We went all the way down to Canal Street and back. The entire party took place while in motion. Sandwich/snack bags, mini king cakes for the kids, sang happy birthday, blew out candles, ate cake and opened gifts on the run. I was a little nervous about getting Griff to actually sit still for an extended period of time and we had no way out! In the back of my mind I always think of an escape route or plan b if you will. I thought if he is really acting up we can always get off and hail a cab back to the station, but we didn't have a car seat. Luckily none of this was necessary. Griff really enjoyed the ride. He was so excited when we left the station. The smile on his face went from ear to ear! Thanks Legend for including us on your special day.

Immediately after we got off the street car we headed straight to Ryan and Paul's 2nd birthday party. Kenton was really feeling under the weather so en-route we swapped out Daddy for MiMi. We were running a little late so we missed the birthday song, but were still in time to enjoy the party! Griff played with his friends outside for a little bit on the bounce house, but the star of the show for Griff was their new play kitchen. He cooked us up all kinds of goodies in the kitchen.

I am so proud of my baby. Griff really enjoyed both parties and only had a 30 minute nap all day! We have already given him a bath and he is eating dinner. I would have to imagine bed-time will also be in the very near future!
