2nd Birthday, Part 2

Sorry for the delay in this post. It has been a crazy week. On Sunday the 25th we had a small family party for the trio - just us, Jason's mom, my parents, and my brother. I wouldn't have been able to handle any more than that - it was all we could do to get to Sam's Club to pick up the Elmo cupcakes!

Family pic. It took a lot of wrangling just to get them on our laps.


Playing with balloons while waiting for our guests to arrive


We started with a present-opening frenzy...


Examining his Elmo gift basket


New Melissa&Doug food sets for their kitchen


Riding their new trikes - thanks MeMe and Hat-Dad! They kept riding around the basement saying "beep beep".


A little "Twinkle Twinkle" concert


Remember those cute birthday crowns I worked so hard on? Yeah, they refused to wear them for more than .5 seconds. I couldn't even get a picture with all 3 wearing them at the same time. Oh well, maybe next year.




Yum!

All Done!


Doing some FaceTime with Uncle Dane and trying on their new bike helmets.



FaceTime with Papa and Mema while they were opening those presents. The kids are excited about all their new play-doh and accessories - will post pics of them playing with it soon.



We took a million more pictures, but I hope these tell the story of their celebration well enough. It was so much fun to see them be so excited about their visitors and their presents! And we are amazed that they have already been with us for two years! Thank you to everyone who sent cards, gifts, emails, and moral support - we are grateful for all of our friends and family.
