Happy Birthday James!

Our littlest guy turned two last week! It was so fun to watch his reaction to all of the birthday excitement.  I'm not sure he knew entirely what was going on always, but was happy none the less.  Thankfully, he didn't mind if his big brother opened a few of his presents.  He mainly knew that you get cake on your birthday.  For several days before hand, I kept asking him what he wanted to eat for dinner on his birthday.  His response was always cake.  And he knows that with cupcakes you sing "Happy Birthday to You."  And Aunt Steph sent an e-card where you decorated a little cake that we played 100 times. :) Not kidding.  So yeah, he liked the cake.  And the presents.  And the attention from his grandparents.  Pretty much everything. 

Here are some pics from his special day.

Alan was happy to show James how to open his presents, read the card, etc.  Since James does EVERYTHING that his big brother does, it didn't take him long to catch on.

Though he was so thrilled with each and every gift that he never wanted to open the next one.  Only play with the one he had.  Such a cute guy.

Ok, so this is the only pic I got of the cupcakes and it's blurry.  I don't think they looked this bad in real life, but  oh well.  I did let the kids decorate though.  Alan and James both helped with squirting the frosting and putting the little animals in the middle.   So you know, they weren't perfect, but it was fun. :)

And finally digging in!

All smiles and wanting to play with every gift

Can't believe you are getting so big Jamesy!  We love you!
