Colten's 2nd Birthday Party

My baby is turning 2 on May 2, 2010. I am going to have a small get together to celebrate on Saturday, May 1, 2010.

I am going to bring cake, ice cream and the birthday boy. We might have someone bringing hamburgers and hot dogs but am not 100% sure on that one. If you can help by bringing some cups or drinks we would appreciate it.

The plan right now is to have the birthday party at Central Park in King, NC (get directions here) at around 2pm. If there is rain then we will do the party at our house.

Please send me a text or call me at 336-971-1627 to let me know you are going to attend and you have filled out the survey. If you hear "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" you have called the right number :)

Thanks everyone, see you there!
Lacy
