Natalie and Ben met in the hospital when they were both born- Natalie was the first baby of 2009, Ben came along 3 days later. They have been in day care together for 2 years and are best friends. Vivianne takes up the third spot in the Three Amigos of Monroe Center, and the three of them are a friendly, funny, happy group of kids.
We co-hosted the birthday party with Natalie's parents, Debbie and Tze, and invited all the kids in their room at day care, as well as the Delos-Reyes and the Muhlys. The kids both like Curious George so we ran with that theme, Tze getting a super cute with George on it, and hats and monkey masks and the works. We ended up having a dozen kids plus two of their favorite teachers from school- Lindsey and Lucy.
The kids and their parents played in the basement with the train set and the cars and a craft table. They were all happy for cake time, where Ben blew out both his and Natalie's three candles. Everyone went home with balloons and Curious George goodies. Ben was SO excited to get to have his friends over. He is planning a Cookie Monster party for his 4th birthday, but I hope we don't wait that long to have his friends over again.
Thanks for the "birthday boy" t-shirt, Grandma Sally! He looked so cute!
