Birthday Party / Pox Shox / Honky Tonkin'

Spencer's 1st birthday party was a success. He had a good time cruising around the house, seemingly unfazed by all the people... until it was time to bring out the cake and sing "Happy Birthday to You." I think he got a little overwhelmed by all the faces staring at him. He was unimpressed with the cake and icing I made him, but there's always next year!


His friends and family were so generous and he received some fun toys and fabulous books. And what a gift it was to have all four grandparents plus Great-Grandma Hill at the party. He is one blessed little boy!


As most of you have probably heard, David came down with the chicken pox before the party. Unfortunately, he was misdiagnosed and was assured he just had a "random" virus and was definitely not contagious, so we went ahead with the party. We felt terrible about the kids who were exposed, but so far no reports of spots on anyone else. Fingers crossed!

Spencer got to spend some quality time with Grannie the week before his party and with Geep a few days after. He even went honky tonkin' with Geep and me.
