Thomas is going to be 3 on the 28th of this month, but he and Kath will be in Utah, and Ella and I will still be here in L.A., so in typical Chamberlain family style, we decided on Friday to have a little family birthday party for him on Sunday. Of course a family party has to include the Yangs, since they're like our family here in L.A. After all we share a wall and a yard with them. We also invited our neighbor Rachel who was mourning the passing of her dog Saide (R.I.P). Thomas also asked if his "Best buddy Maddox could please come" So our little family party expanded a tiny bit, but it was still mellow and low key just the way we like it.
We handed out water guns as a party favor, and filled up a bucket of water balloons. The Yang's gave Thomas a Slip 'n Slide, which I think Ella was more excited about than him, and she provided endless entertainment for the party with her slip and slide antics. And you know the afternoon wasn't going by with out me having a few turns on the slip and slide! It was a wet and wild party for a while!
Thomas had asked for tacos, so Kath and I decided to do a taco bar. I have to say, the spread we put out made Chipotle look like a crappy corporate franchise owned by McDonalds! It featured chicken and barbacoa beef tacos, and three kinds of salsa. The tacos were SO TASTY! and the salsa that was the most popular was the one Ella made!
Another request of Thomas' was a castle cake, and Kath totally delivered! She made a super rad sand castle cake. It was every bit as tasty as it was cool looking. We won't talk about how many weight watchers points were in one slice, but let's just say I used all my bonus points for the week!
It really was one of those perfect days were everything went just right. There were no meltdowns and everyone went to bed happy!
