Happy 2nd Birthday

I've been counting down to November 19th for weeks now. I was so excited to celebrate you boys this year, hoping you would slightly understand that the day was all about you. Your daddy and I both had the day off; we eagerly awoke, waiting for you to wake up so we could begin the day of celebrating you!

Good morning, two year olds! We greeted you with the singing of "Happy Birthday to You," and tossing balloons into your crib. You knew immediately today was going to be a special day! The giggles and squealing as you played with the balloons was great.

       

Once downstairs it was gift number one: Mickey Mouse choo-choos. The perfect combination of your two favorite things!

 

 

Next in the birthday celebrations was birthday cinnamon rolls: blue icing and candles to blow out, and hugs and kisses during a quick visit with Zsu Zsu and Paka.

 

 

 

 

 

  

After breakfast, Tse-Tse popped in for a quick visit - with balloons and cupcakes. You only turn 2 once, right? So, it was cupcakes at 10:00 AM right after sugary cinnamon rolls.

    

    

 

From cupcakes and smooches, it was off to All About Kids - a local gym for you boys to play at and then lunch at Chick-fil-A. There were bouncy houses, giant slides, mini-tramps, and tumbling floors for you to run around on.

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

  

Once home, it was round two of presents - a new Mickey blanket for your naptime. Ryan, as soon as you opened it, you cuddled up with your blanket, began sucking your thumb, and said, "Nap!" Our busy morning had worn you out and you were ready!

You woke up from naptime to open another present (a fishing set) and take a family walk.

 

 

 

After dinner, it was another cupcake, one more present (Mickey Mouse and Thomas the Train seek and finds - your new favorite books!), and off to bed....as BIG, TWO YEAR OLDS!! 

We loved celebrating you all day and you loved it too! It was such a fun, full day. We love you both dearly and love watching you grow. Already you make us so proud and know you will continue to do so as the years go on.
