We chose to hold Benji and Trey Davey’s first birthday party a week early to accommodate visiting friends and family in Owensboro for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, this date was bad for several others who left town for the holiday.
Sandy Mama planned everything to perfection. Shopping in town and on the internet, she selected all the themed decorations and meal supplies. A custom cake was ordered to match the napkins and banners. Each boy also received their own cake to taste.
Granddaddy Edds made arrangements to hold the party in First Baptist Church’s Christian Life Center, which was an excellent location. He opened the building three hours early and joined Mommy, Daddy and our friend Al Bell in decorating. Nearly 200 balloons were filled with helium and tied to chairs to create a festive atmosphere. Kudos goes to Big Al for cooking spaghetti with meatballs, bread and tossed salad for everyone.
Before dinner, guests enjoyed the air hockey, ping pong and pool tables in the lobby and basketball in the gymnasium. Also popular was the toy room where tots climbed on and into the indoor play equipment. Watching the older children play, like Cousin Levi and AnaKaye Roberts, gave us much insight into what our boys will be enjoying in the near future.
Granddaddy Edds offered a prayer of Thanksgiving for our wonderful miracle twins and the family and friends who have so generously contributed to their growth and development this first year of their lives. After we enjoyed a delicious dinner with much fun and fellowship, everyone readied for the cake and singing of Happy Birthday. Candles were lit, and the boys sat patiently during the serenade. Then Mommy blew out the flames just before the boys touched them. Then against Mommy’s preference, the boys were allowed the tradition of eating their own cake with their hands. It was a marvelous party and we appreciate everyone who contributed to its success.
