1. At 6:09 p.m. my Grayson James was surrounded by family and so much love.
This year we had a much smaller party that we typically have. We usually have pretty much everyone on my mom's side. It ends up being about twenty-five people crammed into our house. I just didn't feel up to that this year, so we just had the family he's closest to. He was so happy having some of his very favourite people here, namely: NanaPe (Grandpa), Amma (Grandma) and his Uncles (Uncle Curt and Uncle Joel).
I just felt like it was a near perfect night. He was so happy and I just feel that he is so loved. And this makes me feel that he had the most wonderful birthday.
2. Grayson loved opening presents and that was so fun to watch. Carter still didn't care by the time he was two and then he only barely cared by the time he was three. He did care at his fourth birthday, but still not as much as I had expected him to. I think this year will be his year. But, Grayson sure thought it was the bees knees. He kept yelling "help" when he couldn't get it open and then he would say, "pull, pull, pull" because we all kept telling him to pull the paper. He was a man on a mission, that's for sure.
3. Carter helped us decorate. I felt like he was pretty excited about throwing Grayson a party and it felt like something we were all doing together. He had some rough points in the night for sure. I think how tired he was showed, but that's okay when you're only almost five. He mostly had fun playing with the new toys Grayson got and with everyone here.

Not asking my mother-in-law if she washed her hands when we got home from shopping. I wanted to so bad. But I didn't. I came up with all sorts of reasons why I should, but I didn't. #winning
This was a great day, but I am beat.
