He's two!

Well, first things first. We obviously survived Jaxon's birthday party... it ended up turning out really well, although by the time the party was over we were all ready for a nap! A couple different families cancelled last minute so we ended up with 8 kids and 6 adults. It was the perfect size party so everything worked out perfectly.

A few pics...

very very simple Cars decorations... definitely nothing over the top :)

favor bags for the kiddos

the weather was decent so the kids were able to play outside which helped a lot!

our families were not able to come, but grandpa did join us via skype for the party. aunt kallie also watched part of it during her lunch break.

delicious and cute cupcakes!

the kiddos! jax has some really great friends here!

smiling from ear to ear while everyone sang happy birthday to him... love!

my big two year old!

side note: that shirt was finished only 30 minutes prior to the party. i ordered one from etsy 3 weeks before, and 2 days before the party when i emailed her asking for a tracking number, she decided to inform me that she was never able to make it, and "oops, sorry i forgot to tell you". anyway, long story short i found a place here in town that does embroidery. tyler thought i was crazy when i sent him at 9:00 the morning of the party to pick it up :)

his gift from us... a rody horse. (http://rodytoy.com/)

A couple days later was his actual birthday, and I made it through the day with a minimal amount of tears being shed. I am looking forward to this next year with him and was just a tad sad about how fast time has gone. I am so thankful I am able to stay home with him and Cohen and watch them change day by day!

birthday waffles!

we had plans to spend the day with friends, but because of an ice and snow storm that hit us, we stayed home and had a movie and popcorn day instead.

jax is always so happy when daddy gets home!

and look at tyler's smile... does he adore this boy or what?!

i may have the pickiest eater on my hands, but the one thing he devours is a McDonalds cheeseburger and fries. ironic, right? so we got him his favorite dinner on his birthday.

a birthday cupcake! he blew out the candles before we even started singing.

this is the one bite of a cupcake he had... apparently he's not a fan.

one last present to open from mommy & daddy

a firetruck puzzle!

We had a great time celebrating our 2 year old boy and I'm thankful I don't have to plan another birthday party for 8 months. :)
