Happy 2nd Birthday baby boy!!! Although I guess you aren't a baby anymore, you're officially in toddler hood. I was feeling a little bummed that we weren't having a "real" party. It's a little difficult to get the family together when plane tickets are over a grand. Then my mom brought up a good point....Some people plan small family parties on purpose! It was actually pretty awesome. We scheduled the day around when family could Skype in so they could see him on his birthday but other than that we just went with the flow and had a nice family day.
Josh and I spent Saturday night blowing up 214 balloons. It was so fun to watch him wake up and come out to a balloon paradise.



We played with those balloons for hours, and spent the last few hours before bed popping them! Cheapest all day entertainment we've had in awhile!

Then we hopped on Skype and video chatted with Grandpa Honn. We brought out his Wonderpets cake and before we could even start singing he blew out two of the candles. But he left the big 2 candle until we were done singing.

Then we gave him a fork, but he wasn't very interested in the cake. He was kinda shy because he was right in front of the webcam.

Then we had Thomas open two presents, his fridge phonics (which he loved and played with on and off all day) and a farm animal matching game.

We didn't get to talk to Grandma until after T woke up from his nap, we held off on the rest of the presents until she could be there. He showed her every present he got.

It was so fun to watch him open presents this year because he understands the concept. Every gift he opened was "OH!" "WOW" or some other excited noise. Once they were all open he brought them one by one to his daddy so he could open them up.

All in all, a very laid back and happy birthday!
