We went back to Montgomery last weekend to go to our best friends' son's 1st birthday party. They are very special to us and do so much for us and we didn't want to miss the fun.

When we got there Saturday morning, Christopher and Nicholas ran around playing with all the cars and toys and Sophie just tried to figure out what to do first. Joshua, the birthday boy, was napping, but not for long. The rest of the party guests arrived later and everyone played outside before coming in for pizza and cake.

Joshua wasn't sure what to do with his smash cake at first, but then he got into it. It was great! Then it was time to open presents and all the kids wanted to help at that point. No surprise. I did everything but sit on Christopher to keep him from unwrapping the presents. After everyone left we but the kids down for naps and the grown ups (if we can be called that) played Wii. We finally had to wake up Christopher so we could put Sophie down for a nap and Melissa woke up Nicholas so he'd go to bed that night and the dads decided to take the boys for a walk to explore. Nicholas grabbed his new scooter and Christopher was on the tricycle. It was really cute! I remember when they were just born and all they could do was lie on a blanket and stare at each other. Boy, how time flies!

Burt started grilling the steaks for dinner and we gave the kids some snacks and waited for dinner to be ready. Sophie saw Joshua had some raisins and quickly crawled over to join him. (Have we mentioned how much she loves to eat?) She recently learned to give kisses, but would only give them if you mentioned the persons' name. We told her to give Joshua a kiss to see if she'd do it, she tried, but he wasn't having it. They decided to hold hands instead. It was adorable!

After eating, Nicholas and Burt wanted to show us what they do most evenings to burn energy, it's called Pillow Island. We ran around grabbing pillows from all over the house, threw them in a huge pile on the floor and the kids took turns jumping and diving into the middle. Brandon and I even took a turn. The kids weren't the only ones who enjoyed it!

The kids were all sweaty so we threw them in the tub, opened Christmas presents and then hit the road. It was the perfect day! We love spending time with the Khan family and it's never a dull moment when we get together. Hopefully we'll see them soon and do it all over again!
