Gunnar squealed a bit as he hit his dragon toy on the floor and it roared at him. Funny dragon! Oh and there was Daddy! Blue eyes snapped up as he heard Daddy's voice and he crawled towards his seated position on the floor, babbling as he went. He had let go of the dragon to come over and it was now laying on its side, trying to walk and flap its wings. Gunnar looked back at it, the sight hilarious to him and resulting in baby giggles. Until Daddy's loud voice caught his attention.

What, Daddy? Gunnar stared at him a moment until he heard Mommy and he looked at her as she came in the room too. Dragon? The one year old looked at his toy again, grabbing it and squealing some more as he banged it on the floor then crawled closer to Mommy's spot on the couch, pulling himself up with it still in his hand. "Da da da da," he babbled as he held it up, his other hand grasping her leg. Look at my dragon, Mommy.. Mommy, look.. do you see my dragon?

Ethan looked up from Gunnar as Minerva entered the room. It didn't really surprise him much that she probably already had things taken care of and didn't need much in the way of help from him. She really seemed to enjoy having get-togethers like this and doing all the planning that went along with them. "Everything looks perfect," he confirmed with a smile before taking another look around the room. It really did look great.

He looked up when he heard a knock on the door. "I'll get that," the 20 year old said before getting up from the floor. Not that they had invited a ton of guests, but he didn't want Min to have to keep getting up when it wasn't easy for her to do so as it was. "Come on in," he grinned at Min's grandparents as he opened the door wider for them. "Can I get you something to drink?"

It wasn't long after he had shut the door when he heard a knock again. Refreshments might have to wait a minute. Or maybe till everyone was here then it could all be done at once. Ethan opened the door again, smiling to see some of their old schoolmates. It had been a while since he had seen Alec, Ella, and Belle. Nice to see them again. "Glad you all could make it," he said with a grin, opening the door wider to let them in. "Come in.."

He glanced over at his son for a moment, checking to make sure he was alright with the slowly growing crowd in their house. He seemed to be alright for now and, while he wasn't extremely wary of strange people, he knew Gunnar could get anxious with a large number, especially if he didn't know them well. And the door again. Ethan went to answer it, this time smiling at the Turner family as he opened the door. "Wilkommen.. thanks for coming.." He opened the door a bit wider and stepped to the side, green eyes falling on the baby. "This must be Felicity." Well, of course it was.. but it was the first time he had actually seen her. He gave his hello's to those arriving by floo - Ariana and her new baby, his parents, cousins - before heading back into the kitchen to get some drinks ready.

Meloria knew she was running a little late, but she needed to check on her sister again before leaving. She knew Mariel felt terrible about not being able to go, but she couldn't possibly blame her. People would understand. Once she was sufficiently certain that she was alright, Meloria grabbed a couple of the packages from the table. "Finn.. I'm going to need you to carry the rest," she called to her husband, watching to make sure he got the rest of the gifts from the table before stepping towards the fireplace. Alright, so maybe she went a little overboard but if she couldn't spoil her only grandchild, then who could she spoil? She completely ignored Finn's comments about it as she stepped into the fireplace.

Flooing to her son and daughter-in-law's house, the blonde woman noted quite a few people assembled there already. Donning a friendly smile, she gave a few polite hello's as she set the gifts that she had carried in the corner, then greeted Ethan and Minerva. Her smile widening at the sight of Gunnar, she bent down towards him. "There's my angel.. happy birthday!"
