Wow it is so hard to believe that you are already 2. Time is going by so fast and i can’t believe that you are getting so big. You are the light of our life and bring us continuous joy as well as frustration! LOL! The terribly busy twos are here and keep us running, running, running.
You are having issues with speech so we attend a speech playgroup every Thursday. We’ve attended two sessions and you’ve already learned a few new words…I am happy that you are picking it up so fast.
We had a family dinner on your actual birthday on Monday night with Auntie Mary and Cousin Cole. We had Birthday cake number one and all your favourite foods.
Mommy and Daddy gave you Mega Blocks and Mary and Cole gave you Tonka cars. You were right into playing with them both right after supper!
Today we had your 2nd party with friends and more family over to celebrate. Grandma Grounds drove up from her home in Vegreville to spend the weekend with us. The day started off with Daddy and Mommy making your birthday cake. True to our tradition we made your cake ourselves and this year decided that a little train would be a good challenge for us. We had a Backyardigans themed party this year since we just love them around these parts!
So here are the pictures of the making of the cake this year:
Randy did the construction, and I did the decorating with a little help from Grandma. It was fun seeing it turn out and come to be what we imagined it to be. Now by no means are we experts when it comes to cake decorating but I’m really proud of how it turned out.
We had some fun guests attend the party today. Leanne and her boys, Morgan and Wyatt; Aimie & Jeremy and their kids Shontel & Braiden as well as Grandma Grounds. We were supposed to have homemade pizza but the dough didn’t turn out so instead we had Pizza Hut. Not our favorite but it did in the pinch we were in. Ethan got some great outdoor toys from our guests and Grandma gave him some outfits and a leapfrog toy. We gave him a Little People Airport. He had a hoot with all his gifts!
Unfortunately we had to put Ethan down for a nap just as the party was getting started, he was melting down from lack of sleep and it was sooo needed! So we let him sleep while we all ate pizza and visited and woke him up an hour later for cake and presents. It worked out okay.
So here are pictures from the rest of the day, a fun one for sure!
More pics!
So a big thanks goes out to our friends for the great gifts for Ethan and for coming and celebrating our little mans’ big day with us. We are glad to have such great people in our lives to make great memories for Ethan to remember forever.
