I was overwhelmed with the love from family and friends who came and celebrated Banks' birthday with us. Banks had both sets of grandparents at his party, which is something I am so appreciative of and cherish so much. In addition to both sets of grandparents, Patrick and I both had Aunts and Uncles and cousins there. Shannon and Allison and the girls made the trek from Charleston, and Ellie really enjoyed helping Banks open his gifts and eat his cake. Then there were our friends who don't even have children yet who came from Greenville and Charlotte (The Mowlajkos, Gordons, and Alfieris). The Guffees were there with their boys, Rollins and Asher, and Kayla was kind enough to take pictures for me. The Potters came from Spartanburg. Then there were our "newer" Anderson friends, including some of Banks' buddies from daycare (Stella, Cora, Jax, and Mattox), and April and Logan Pierce came. Everyone brought very sweet, thoughtful gifts and Banks got some really cool new toys. But it was definitely the presence of our friends and family that meant the most - Banks knew all of his favorite people were together in one place and he loved it!
The highlight of his party was the smash cake. Banks was a little ham and loved tasting the icing and then letting out a loud squeal after every bite. He thought it was so great that everyone was watching him and smiling and laughing.
