Mater and the Entire Crew!

Our sweet cakes had himself an adorable little 2nd birthday party with the family, complete with lightning McQueen decor galore! 

Despite the fact that he's been randomly sick for the past week he was a trooper for his birthday party and seeing all his favorite people made him one happy camper.  

I will admit that when I ordered these cake pops I had something different in mind...  had bought a tiered stand for them and thought they would be standing up. I think we improvised quite nicely, and they ended up working out just fine.. the best part is that not only did they look adorable, but they were yum! It was a nice tasty change up from just a cake.

                                                                   ... and Kellen and the crew seemed to enjoy them so that's all that matters. K blew out his candle in the first few words of his birthday song.. guess he was eager to get to that chocolate!

                                       He loves all of his bff's(cousins) and was more then happy to let them join in on his gift opening. I'm not sure if its the age or the child or what, but he is always such a great gift opener. has adorable expressions of excitement and lets everyone know he is pleased with what they have gotten him. This pleases his momma so.. I wonder how long the peaceful bliss will last ?? sigh

              He doesn't understand 'money' or even care what it is, but he looooves dropping those coins down in his bank and gets so excited when we hand him change. He holds it close and runs to his room. Knows exactly where it goes.  His PawPaw Davis sent him $20 so he gladly folded it up for his bank. We all emptied our wallets to give this baby every penny we could muster!

We are so blessed to get to spend all day with the birthday boy. Took him shopping and told him he could pick out any toy he wanted. He looked over all the toys in several toy stores, picked them up and then put them back.. He didn't feel that great on his big day, but hes also not a greedy kid. He ended up with one little mail truck and a Dr. Seuss book, 'Green Eggs and Ham.' Sweet baby boy!

              He even had a little time on the morning of his birthday to get some 'thank you' pictures for his family for all his great great gifts.

The two year milestone.

He thinks its funny to not want to get dressed when its time to go somewhere, which is the case in this picture above.

Like I've said before, he doesn't pronounce 'f''s . yesterday we were playing and he looked down at his finger and said 'oh noo, i hurt my singer'          :)
