I'm 2!

Well, not quite yet, but we did celebrate Wade's birthday today. We had so much fun with all of our friends and family relaxing, hanging out and playing. It was nice to be able to invite some of Wade's friends this year, not just ours. We played outside for a little while, and there were wagon rides given by Jackson, sandbox time, basketball and catch, sidewalk chalk and meals being made in Wade's new kitchen. There were trucks and tools, baby dolls and cars, so much going on and sooooo much fun!

Mark and I completely finished all our pre-party prep by 4:29 (with the help of Maryanne and Brandon). I got to enjoy most of the party snapping pictures and chatting with friends, however, I do wish I had gotten more pictures of all the kids playing. It wasn't until about 6:00 that I realized I hadn't eaten since breafast! Oh well, it flew by and Wade had a blast- and so did everyone else from what I can gather. Here are some of the photos I caught throughout the day:

Wade checking out his new kitchen in the morning.

Probably the best ten bucks I ever spent! Wade LOVED this huge Mickey Mouse balloon!

Baby Callan came to play (with Brian and Greg).

Blowing out candles. It's slightly blurry, but the only picture of the (very nearly successful) Mickey Mouse cake I made.

After cake (just the frosting, mostly) with the far-off, sugar induced look)!

After everyone left, we opened a few presents.

Putting together his new train set (or doing yoga, I'm not sure...)

Winding down after a long day. What a wonderful birthday :)
