Auggie Turns 10

Auggie’s birthday is here, and it’s the big 1-0! We’re in to double digits. I decided to throw him a big party and ask friends to come over (especially since hardly anybody had been over to see my house since I renovated almost the entire thing.)


Birthday boys! Georgie came over for the party, too, but she was not involved in this little family photo. I only have two arms.


Auggie got a nice big pirate cake, with a skull centerpiece and ten candles.


Blow out the candles!


But the cake going into his belly is all he really cares about.


NOM THAT CAKE


NOM ALL OF IT


Even the little crumbies left behind.


Some of them are tiny crumbies and you have to lick them up.


Payton gets cake next.


NOM


Halfway through his nom he realized that was impolite and changed to a slightly less impolite nom.


Then he licked his crumbies too.


Georgie next. I broke her cake into pieces so she wouldn’t simply swallow the entire piece whole, as she tends to do.


A nom nom nom nom.


Nom crumbies too. Who licks??


Next, Auggie got his presents.


Reach in that bag old man, see what you get!


Fishing around…


IT’S A TINY SHEEP IT IS THE BEST TINY SHEEP TOY IN THE WORLD


Mom please throw tiny sheep.


No take, only throw.


Payton says “hey wait, there’s something else in here.”


Oh! There is more.


It’s Swabby Shark! Swabby Shark has been waiting since springtime for Auggie’s birthday. A nice big red pirate shark – I don’t think there’s many toys that are more quintessential for Auggie.


Please throw Swabby too mom.

Thank you to all my friends for coming to Auggie’s big birthday party. He is my very special guy and having so many people over to pat him and love on him is a great way for him to spend his birthday. Everybody even sang him the Happy Birthday song.
Happiest of happy birthdays, my very best Auggie.
