Jude's 2nd Birthday

So little Jude Daly turned 2 years old! The kiddo has been sleeping in a big boy bed since he started escaping his crib at 18 mos. He's quite the little tough guy and looks like a surfer dude with his white-blonde hair and tan. So just a little background on the Daly parties.... Tim and Marti are both from huge Irish-Catholic families. Kids EVERYWHERE. It's a lot of fun at their house, but it does get crazy. Marti is one of six kids and Tim's one of five. Between the Marti and Tim and their siblings' children, there are 23 kids... I think 23... There could be more, but there's definitely one more on his way (Erin is pregnant with her 5th boy!)

Evan had a blast with all the kids. He kept cracking up when Jude was trying to blow up a balloon and he would put his arms out to everyone because he wanted to play with them. I bet next year he will be running around with the pack. He also got tons of kisses and hugs from Sean and Alice's youngest, Anna. She followed Evan everywhere. At one point, I felt someone hugging my legs and I looked down and saw Anna who wanted me to bring Evan down to her. It's not unusual to be hugged by a random child at Marti's house.

Oh ya, and there was a pinata! Pure anarchy. Jude's up to bat.

We had a great time as usual. We can't wait for another Daly party!
