Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-08-27

2009-08-27 24:59 (Kristen) Liam had his friend party today for his birthday, and it was a Pirate Party. We bought pirate balloons, and a special pirate hat with feathers for Liam and there were swords and hats for his friends too. And pirate decorations. Liam was the Dread Pirate Liam, and his friends the Dread Pirate Jack and the Dread Pirate Simon had a great time with sword fights and pirate-themed videos. Charlie came with his little brother Jack to keep Jamie company, and we also had Daniel and Ross. It was a great time, and everyone was very happy. Liam liked his presents, and it was most heart-warming when Jack hugged Liam after Liam said thak you for his present. Mass parental melt. The earlier part of the day was spent preparing for the pirate party; the rest of it was spent recovering, although not too much as it was fun but not crazy. Arrrr!!! John will be taking over the reins for the next few days, as I will be off in Boston on my first ever trip away from the kids. I'm not sure hwo is more anxious about it: me or them.
