wes' shindig

this past weekend, we had a small celebration for wes' 1st birthday. amazingly, we made it through the whole party without a single meltdown from any of the six little people that were here. we also made it through an earthquake that nobody thought a thing about. a loud boom, a little shaking....we attributed it to thunder, a big truck, or maybe a sonic boom since the columbus AFB is nearby. we found out later that night that we were all wrong. how cool that we can now say we were in an earthquake!

here are a few pics from the party.
