Hyperbole

My baby turned one Friday, and we had her party yesterday. It's hard to believe she's not a baby any more – though I'm not eager to start now, I don't think we're done growing our family yet.
The party was great – a decent turnout, though several "expecteds" did not show. As a result, friend actually outnumbered extended family, which made for a much more relaxed atmosphere. And there were lots of kids. (And this wasn't even the kids party – that's next week at my son's birthday party!) So much so that shortly after my brother arrived he came to me with a wide-eyed, nervous look and said, "There's a lot of kids here!" I was amused...

Party season will be over soon. As much as I am looking forward to my son's birthday party, I am ready for party season to end. Let's recap:

1. Department Christmas party


2. Friends' Christmas party (yes, I know I didn't really attend this one – the spirit was willing though!)


3. Christmas in Arizona


4. Christmas Part II/New Years


5. Daughter's birthday

and coming up:

6. Company annual post-holiday party (Friday)


7. Son's birthday (next Saturday)


8. Nephew's birthday (next Sunday)

Are we through yet? Fortunately or unfortunately, not until next week. <sigh/>
