Our little Man...

Thomas' Birthday went really well! The highlights of his day were getting balloons at lunch, going to the park, eating pizza, and of course presents and cake. We have a tradition of making a special cake on birthdays. He could not get enough of this Lightning McQueen cake. He was really good about not touching it before it was time, but he always just wanted to see it. This was the first year he understood the concept of presents and loved unwrapping them. He had a lot of fun singing songs and playing games with us as well. He seemed to understand that this was a special day... all about him. It is sad to see our little boy growing up, but it was still a real fun day. Today he is wanting to put candles in everything he eats to blow out, and was so excited to come out in the living room and see his toys again, it's like living the excitement all over. So cute.

Our tradition for birthdays is to eat pizza, a special cake, and ice cream with a straw after we blender it...what I'm saying is Thomas is lucky (for more than one reason).

I can't believe you made that cake! That's awesome. It looks better than most store bought ones. Glad he had a good birthday! I can't believe it's been 2 years, it seems like not to long ago we were working at Convergys and pregnant together. That means my baby is gonna be 2 soon! :( They grow up too fast!

Good job on the birthday mom. If Thomas wasn't a boy, I would have to say that he is beautiful. I want some of those big blocks. They are really fun.

What a fun birthday! I'm impressed, you have a two year old and a new baby and are able to throw a great birthday party...I don't know how you do it, I certainly feel like I have my hands very full with one little one. I love the cake, super cute!

Wow- is he seriously 2? What a cutie! 2 is so fun. They just start getting really excited about life. Way to go on that cake! Hey- you have to tell me where you found those big blocks. My mom has some old ones and Jack is obsessed. I have to get him some. Look at Grace! She is really 6 weeks old? Crazy! What a doll. Hey- look at me blog. There is a post just for you. It has your name on it and everything. You will love it!

What a fun day! Did you decorate that cake yourself? I am totally impressed. I COULD NOT do that.

Tanya said...

K Ashley here is the deal. I always see your name around my friends blogs, RaeAnn, Pam, Whit...and I know you are RaeAnn's sister...we love the same people so I think we should be blogging friends. Ha ha. I totally have been reading your blog so I had to just come out with it. Cute cute kids by the way.
