We had my mom fly into Denver a day before and a day after our recent trip to Kansas. We flew into Kansas City and drove two hours to Manhattan to be with the grandbaby, great grandbaby for his first birthday.
The weather gods were on our side, it had snowed about a foot in Denver the day before we left, and we were able to get a friend to drive us on the questionable roads for our early morning flight to Kansas City the next day. Grey, wet, and cold snow. You know, a perfect midwestern Winter day!
The flight got in on time and we landed into blue skies and dry roads, which was as perfect as it could be. My daughter, her hubs and the aforementioned grandbaby all live on post at Fort Riley. We all stayed with them, which made for a full house! But a comfortable kind of cozy with the two giant great dane pups added into the mix. They truly believe themselves to be lap dogs.
Grandson got his first taste of sugar in the form of a Darth Vader cupcake with BLACK icing and silver spray on it. The best gift was the shopping cart from Aunt Bunny, he and his little friends pushed it around and filled and unfilled it for pretty much the entire duration of the party. My daughter is a true crafty soul and she had a great big black Star Wars Banner, home made cake, beautiful chalkboard pots with goodies for the two little guests, and tons of helium balloons to augment the multiple Star Wars decorations.
See for yourself:)
