This year it was even more fun because you got to help with a lot of the party prep! And at the same time I struggle with having these big parties because with more people it is hard to really enjoy that time with you and with family and friends. And it all goes by so fast. Luckily you always enjoy yourself and are not intimated or scared of the attention or the crowd. I think I will keep working on how to scale these things down a bit so that the real purpose is not over looked. I certainly want to be present with you and not overwhelmed with hosting. It is a great blessing and "problem" to have when we are loved by so many people. It's amazing to have so many friends and such a great community and wonderful family who loves you so much and drives from Springfield and St. Louis to celebrate with us.
