October 17, 2015 "Sneak-A-Peek Celebration"

We decided to have a small gathering to celebrate Rayden's 'almost birthday'. (He was kinda born twice, ya know!) Most people in the 'Spina Bifida World' call the anniversary of fetal surgery 'Butt Day' because it is the day the baby's 'butt' is born. I wanted to call this day something different. After asking around, we decided to call it "Sneak-A-Peek" Day because we just took a peek at Rayden and put him back in for 10 more weeks. I thought the cake was absolutely perfect. (Thanks Sweet Dreams Bakery) Elizabeth and Justin made the most amazing #1 cookies too. Some had his name on them, others had the Spina Bifida ribbon.



We really enjoyed the day. Rayden seemed to know it was all about him because he was super excited, didn't take a nap all day, and wasn't even ill. He laughed and played with everyone. Of course we had to follow tradition and allow him to eat his own little cake. I certainly didn't want to but I suppose he enjoyed it. Below is a short video clip of Rayden savoring his cake.

So windy I had to wear a hat.
