Peyton's Party

We had a small family birthday party for Peyton on Sunday afternoon at our house. Or as Ashley called it "a party with no friends". After having a big birthday party with friends, a birthday lunch at Chuck E Cheese and a birthday dinner at Outback all for Ashley, we decided to do something very low key for Peyton. We knew he did not know the difference anyway. We grilled out chicken and had corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. I made a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake for dessert. My parents, my sister and Ryan's parents came. It was perfect. Just the right amount of people, the right amount of presents and the right amount of money spent and time invested. He loved his gifts and I am constantly finding his little trucks in Ashley's room because she seems to think they are hers too! We had a busy couple of birthday weeks and so far, I am loving age 5 and age 2!
