Birthday Party

Last year for Michael’s first birthday we had a baseball themed party.  Of course it was purely our choice but this year it was clear that fire trucks were definitely in. So off to Party City for our fire truck themed party.  It was so much fun getting all of his things ready to celebrate Michael’s second birthday.  Sadly, I didn’t have time to get custom invitations but I don’t think that Michael really cares.  We ended up moving Michael’s party at the last minute because of some scheduling issues but luckily most of the family could make it.  Michael sang happy birthday to himself and this year actually enjoyed opening the presents.  He knew exactly what to do when we gave him his cake this time!  Let me tell you about this cake, it was FANTASTIC!  My friend Dwight who is a teacher, makes the most amazing cakes and he did not disappoint this time.  Everyone kept going on and on about his homemade frosting and how delicious it was.  So yummy, I wish that I had some right now!

The next weekend, my parents came up to celebrate Michael’s birthday with yet another cake.  So for two weeks we had balloons and birthday signs around the house and two cakes.  Michael now loves to sing “Happy Birthday” to himself or me or whoever is around and will ask for birthday cake for dessert. So sweet, it was truly a fun day and I am still in shock that my little boy is already 2 years old.  I can’t wait to see what his third year around here will bring!
